Alongside Jim Nantz, Romo is the analyst on CBS, and fans have enjoyed his commentary. Although Romo has his haters, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/250922-tony-romos-cbs-deal-worth-even-more-than-originally-reported-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he is still someone who is respected a guy who knows a lot about the sport. </a></p>



<p>On Sunday, Romo got to call the AFC Championship game. Of course, this matchup featured the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/626645-shannon-sharpe-puts-an-end-to-mahomes-vs-burrow-debate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals</a>. In the end, the Chiefs won 23-20. However, it was one of Romo&#8217;s calls that got most of the attention on social media.</p>

<p>At one point in the match, numerous people took to Twitter as they couldn&#8217;t believe their ears. Subsequently, videos were posted with an analysis of what Romo may have or may not have been trying to say.</p>



<p>Down in the video below, you can hear Romo say that the Chiefs player was surrounded. However, he eventually made an &#8220;N&#8221; sound before catching himself and saying something else. Consequently, he had people thinking that he was about let the n-word slip. </p>

<p>In the ensuing tweets, even more, fans came through with the very same analysis. Many struggled to think of what he could have been trying to say. Some theorized &#8220;nickels,&#8221; while others thought he was confused and wanted to say &#8220;Niners.&#8221; Either way, this is one of those situations that Romo may very well have to address at some point.</p>

<p>At this point, it remains to be seen what will come of this. CBS nor Romo have issued a response. Either way, fans are going to continue circulating this clip as they try to get to the bottom of it.</p>
