The NFL playoffs are in full swing this week, and it looks like CBS is going to get a premier matchup, as Tony Romo revealed.
Instead of it being a surprise, it appeared Romo inadvertently tipped the broadcast schedule for next week’s AFC Divisional Round Sunday.
As the Buffalo Bills were wrapping up their 31-7 Wild Card Round win over the Denver Broncos, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS analyst talked about next week’s big AFC showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills.
Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are the top two MVP candidates, and things will be handled on the field.
“The two leading MVP candidates, it’s a coin flip to me, and I’ll tell you right now they are both playing the best football of their career,” Romo said. “And I can’t wait to do that game with you next week, buddy.”
“Oh, we got the call already?” play-by-play man Jim Nantz asked.

“Yeah, they’re sending us over there,” Tony Romo confirmed. “That’s the game I’ve been waiting for for a while now.”
The NFL released next week’s broadcast schedule Sunday night.
As Romo stated, the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills will clash in the most anticipated of the four divisional round games this weekend. They will do so on CBS at 6:30 pm ET Sunday night.
NBC, which usually broadcasts the late game, will instead broadcast the 3 pm ET game between the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles.
Tony Romo is going to get his wish.

Tony Romo Continues to Get Backlash From Social Media
On Sunday, Jim Nantz reached a milestone while calling his 500th game as an NFL broadcaster in the Buffalo Bills’ playoff matchup against the Denver Broncos. Nantz is the first person in CBS’ history to have worked 500 games as a play-by-play announcer.
At the time, Tony Romo might not get close to that number if social media has something to say about it.
Since 2017, Nantz has worked alongside the former Cowboys quarterback.
Unfortunately for him, fans have become increasingly annoyed with his repetitive calls and weird noises.
The former NFL quarterback signed a whopping 10-year, $180 million deal to remain with CBS through the 2026 season.
