Tony Romo leaves fans split with pᴀssionate display in the booth for Broncos-Bills playoff showdown

Tony Romo’s unmatched energy for playoff football left NFL fans split on Sunday, as they tuned in to watch the Broncos face the Bills in the Wild Card round.

Sunday’s slate began in Buffalo with Jim Nantz and Romo on the call, and Romo started the game as he meant to go on by screaming ‘Here we go Jim’ at the first kick.

His unrivaled energy is popular with many fans but also grates on many others, and thousands were quick to give their opinion on the NFL icon on social media.

Taking to X, one wrote: ‘Game just started and I’m already sick of Tony Romo’, while another added: ‘This NFL game is on mute. Tony Romo is insufferable. My god.’

Meanwhile, others were full of praise over his performance, with one fan labeling him the ‘best analyst’ in football, with others enjoyed his pᴀssion for the sport.

Romo is a huge Josh Allen fan, and some were quick to latch onto that, joking that all the Bills QB had to do was ‘breathe’ to elicit a strong response from the announcer.

The Nantz-Romo partnership was treated to a brilliant game in western New York, with rookie quarterback Bo Nix throwing his first playoff touchdown on the first drive of the game.

The Bills fought back, in part through the brilliance of Allen and running back James Cook, and the game was perfectly poised at 10-7 Broncos going into the half.

Sunday was not the first time Romo has left fans split over his actions in the booth, after he recently gave a ‘haunting’ rendition of The Lion King live on Thanksgiving.

Others claimed Romo is 'still the best analyst' in football and that they enjoy watching him

During the second quarter of the Lions game, Ford Field held its ‘Cub Cam’ – a fan activity where parents in the crowd hoist up their babies to recreate the iconic opening scene from the Disney classic. 

After Nantz introduced the practice, Romo could be heard warbling an incredibly pitchy rendition of the ‘Circle of Life’ – the overture to the 1994 animated feature, composed by Elton John and famous composer Hans Zimmer. 

Not only was the 44-year-old off tune, he also was nowhere near to singing the correct lyrics, which incorporate Zulu, a language indigenous to South Africa. 

The tuneless rendition caught the attention of NFL fans, who mocked it as ‘the worst’ on social media.
