The Buffalo Bills were able to hold off the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31–17, at home on Monday to advance to a divisional round showdown with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday in Buffalo.
Jim Nantz and Tony Romo were on the call for the Bills’ win over the Steelers and they had one brutal moment that had fans crushing them on social media.
In case you missed it, Nantz and Romo thought the Bills had intercepted a Mason Rudolph pass and were going to score an easy touchdown on the return. Instead, the ball had clearly hit the ground after being dropped by George Pickens and the play was quickly blown dead.
This wasn’t great:
"This may be a pick!" - Jim Nantz

"I THINK IT'S INTERCEPTED, JIM!" - Tony Romo
"They're saying it hit the ground." - Nantz
"It did. BUT IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS INTERCEPTED, JIM!" - Romo
"I saw you jumping up and down. You thought it was a pick..." - Nantz 🏈🎙️ pic.twitter.com/jeDyWPxzJf
Fans didn’t hold back on Romo:
Romo is the guy that gets called up from Triple A and rakes for the first few weeks and then they start throwing off-speed stuff. Goodness gracious. https://t.co/9VpuVfIc6E
