CBS's Romo-Nantz Booth Quietly Survives Scrutiny With a Small Win
TL;DR Summary
CBS’s AFC Championship broadcast by Jim Nantz and Tony Romo was largely unremarkable—a modest improvement over their recent missteps—featuring moments of back-slapping rather than deep analysis and a confusing sequence on a pivotal fumble/grounding call with Gene Steratore. With Romo’s hefty contract looming and reports that CBS might promote Ian Eagle and J.J. Watt to the No. 1 booth, the network faces a strategic question as NBC and ABC/ESPN offer stronger future options. Sunday’s performance wasn’t great, but it wasn’t disastrous—a quiet win for CBS amid high scrutiny.
