Tony Romo's awkward noises during NFL broadcast draws criticism

The Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 28-21 in a game where Patrick Mahomes appeared "uncomfortable," leading to questions from analysts like Colin Cowherd about whether the Chiefs remain contenders despite the loss.

During the broadcast, CBS color analyst Tony Romo, a former Dallas Cowboys star, drew criticism for making awkward noises while attempting to describe holding penalties called against the Bills, which caught the attention of fans and sparked online comments about his performance.

Romo has faced scrutiny multiple times in his transition from player to broadcaster, and ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, he addressed past criticism by describing it as a "normal arc of a career," comparing it to how audiences often root against dominant figures before eventually supporting them again, as seen with athletes like Tiger Woods.

He acknowledged receiving some praise for his game commentary but noted that his chemistry with play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz has also been under examination by critics.
