Tony Romo’s NSFW commentary of Drew Brees TD review made the delay worth it

Tony Romo couldn’t help himself as the replay review of Drew Brees’ late touchdown turned into a celebration on innuendo.

Sunday’s playoff matchup between the Saints and the Bears wasn’t particularly memorable until the broadcast team of Tony Romo and Jim Nantz were handed a bit they couldn’t pass up.

With two minutes left to play in a game that was essentially decided, Drew Brees tried to put the game away for good when he stretched out the ball at the goal line on fourth down. Refs called the play a touchdown on the field, but replays quickly raised doubt about whether the ball had indeed crossed the plane.

It all came down to the angle of the camera views. Was the tip of the football in? If you snickered like a schoolboy, you’re not alone.

The internet had a field day with the moment, particularly as Romo and Nantz continued to discuss varying definitions of the word “tip.”

It wasn’t even the first time they’d used a line about tips.

The jokes would have been funny enough without the added context of Nickelodeon’s broadcast of the playoff game.

That’s not to say everyone enjoyed the moment.

Ultimately, the officials determined Brees hadn’t gotten the ball across the line. The touchdown was reversed and the Bears got the ball on downs. The jokes didn’t stop then.

Even though he didn’t get that rushing touchdown, Brees had a strong outing. He finished with 265 yards and two touchdowns passing. Alvin Kamara, who’s failed third-down rush set up the moment of the game, had 99 yards and a score on the ground.

The Saints went on to win 21-9 after the Bears went down the field and scored as time expired. New Orleans will now take on Tampa Bay in the Divisional Round of the playoffs while the Bears 2020 season is officially ended.
