Many Chiefs fans were left fuming with Tony Romo’s CBS coverage of the AFC Championship clash between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs after he seemingly threw a shot at Travis Kelce.

After Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes scored a rushing touchdown in the second quarter of the AFC Championship game, Kelce could be seen getting in the face of Bills safety Damar Hamlin after he tackled Mahomes to the ground.

In response, Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips came over to protect his teammate by strongly approaching Kelce and smacking his helmet into his in the end zone.

Romo would then accuse the Chiefs’ tight end of flopping.

“Travis Kelce knows how to get under your skin,” CBS analyst Tony Romo said on the broadcast.

“And then Phillips comes in. He tries for the flop.”

Tony Romo is Done Broadcasting Until The 2025 Season

Romo is finally done for the 2024 season.

On Sunday, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback called the Chiefs-Bills game on CBS. That would conclude their year.

Fox owns the rights to broadcast Super Bowl 59 this year, which means Tony Romo has called his final game of the season.

Unlike the 2023 season, Romo did not find himself getting blasted as much as he did in the 2024 season. That had more to do with the attention paid to Tom Brady and his first year in the booth.

Brady’s emergence allowed Romo to fly under the radar and get a break from fans and that was likely music to his ears.
