NFL Fans Crushed Tony Romo for His Baffling Comment After Lamar Jackson’s Fumble vs. Chiefs

Tony Romo’s broadcasting career got off to such a hot start in his first few years on the job. But since then, fans have become more and more annoyed by the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and the things he says while calling big games on CBS.

Those feelings continued during Sunday’s Chiefs-Ravens AFC championship game when Romo had fans sounding off over a very weird comment after Lamar Jackson fumbled the ball away in the the first half.

Romo quickly blurted this out after the play: "In games like this, the ball matters more than any game."

Here’s how that played out:

"In games like this, the ball matters more than any game."

It’s statements like this why watching the game on mute is the move when Romo is on the call of the game. I wonder when CBS will start regretting the 10 year deal they gave him. https://t.co/2Y0ugqfQ8B
