NFL on CBS color commentator Tony Romo got lost in his thoughts during one play in the Buffalo Bills-Kansas City Chiefs game which led to angry viewers.
Romo was calling the game from Orchard Park alongside play-by-play partner Jim Nantz when he was breaking down a pass play in the first quarter.
However, as he was dissecting the defense, Romo let out this incredibly awkward noise that confused and angered the fans at home.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was able to get a holding call on the Bills defense as their secondary got crossed up by receivers Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice.
‘You’ll see right here, hold, and then another hold right there,’ Romo told the audience.
He then finished his thought by saying ‘I think it was…’ before letting out a loud, long and incredibly awkward groan on air.

NFL fans instantly ran to social media to chat about the weird sound Romo made.
‘In the beginning, he sounds like he’s holding in a s**t, and at the end he sounds like he’s releasing it,’ wrote one user on X.
Others were unhappy with Romo’s expression. One comment read, ‘This dude is so annoying.’
‘I just cannot listen to Tony Romo,’ said another user.
One fan said, ‘Tony Romo has become insufferable to listen to on these broadcasts.’
Fans have complained about Romo in Chiefs-Bills games plenty of times in the past as CBS broadcasts the AFC Championship game.
The network is contractually tied to the AFC, meaning Romo is often on the air for these contests.
