Overview
- Pregame remarks framed Josh Allen as the decisive figure and cast a Jaguars win as a major upset, fueling perceptions of favoritism toward Buffalo’s quarterback.
- Romo delivered a confusing opening about who was favored, calling it a potential upset even as Jacksonville entered as the betting favorite at home.
- After a first‑quarter hit on Allen, the booth did not immediately note a possible injury and only acknowledged it when he went to the sideline tent.
- Viewers cited a series of on‑air missteps, including talking over an Allen touchdown sequence, a delayed handoff to rules analyst Gene Steratore, and several incorrect or speculative calls.
- Media figures such as Joe Flint, Bryan Curtis, and Dave Portnoy criticized the broadcast, reviving references to a reported 2022 CBS intervention and with no network response reported.
