Tony Romo made a “historically inaccurate” mistake during the Bills vs. Chiefs AFC Divisional Round game on Sunday.
During the opening drive of the game, the BS Sports announcer tried to think back to one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ all-time great plays, but he did so inaccurately.
The play in the game involved a fumble where Dalton Kincaid batted the ball out of bounds to make sure the Chiefs would not recover it. It received a penalty but it was still a heads-up play by him.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback turned CBS announcer referenced Franco Harris as the man responsible for the “illegal batting” penalty.
He was wrong.
Romo was thinking of the “Holy Roller” play.

“The Holy Roller is an infamous Raiders play where players batted a ball forward into the end zone, leading to a Dave Casper recovery for a touchdown,” Outkick pointed out.
“Batting a loose football forward and picking up yards was outlawed after the 1978 play.”
The Kansas City Chiefs won a thriller of a game over the Buffalo Bills, 27-24, to advance to the AFC Championship Game for a sixth-straight season.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 17-of-23 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns in the game.
A missed field goal by Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass in the fourth quarter with less than two minutes to play would ensure the game would not be tied and possibly head into overtime where things could’ve really gotten interesting.
