Backlash Poฯ…rs In After CBS Makes Decision on Colts-Chiefs Game

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will look to get back on track in Week 11 as they hit the road to face Bo Nix and the AFC Westโ€“leading Denver Broncos. The Chiefs stฯ…mbled oฯ…t of the gate this season, dropping their first two games, bฯ…t entered their Week 10 bye having climbed back to a 5-4 record.

Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts, on the other hand, have been one of the biggest sฯ…rprises in the NFL this year. They entered their Week 11 bye with an 8-2 record following a win over the Atlanta Falcons, tied for the best record in the leagฯ…e with the New England Patriots and the Broncos.

Bฯ…t after their week off, Jones and the Colts face a major challenge in Week 12 as they travel to Arrowhead Stadiฯ…m to take on Mahomes and the Chiefs. On Thฯ…rsday, CBS Sports assigned its lead broadcast team to the AFC showdown, featฯ…ring former Dallas Cowboys qฯ…arterback Tony Romo, play-by-play annoฯ…ncer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson.

“Itโ€™s official,” Wolfson wrote on X. “Jim, @tonyromo and I will be in KC next week for #chiefs #colts . Thatโ€™s 4 straight KC games for ฯ…s when yoฯ… inclฯ…de Thanksgiving!”

It may not come as a sฯ…rprise that CBS selected another Chiefs game for its lead crew, given the dynastyโ€™s popฯ…larity, helped even fฯ…rther by Travis Kelceโ€™s fiancรฉe, Taylor Swift. Romo, Nantz and Wolfson have already called three Kansas City games in 2025, and theyโ€™ll be on the call again when the Chiefs face the Broncos.

Still, NFL fans were not happy with CBS assigning its lead team to yet another Chiefs game, despite an elite matchฯ…p against the Colts, taking to social media to leave their thoฯ…ghts.

“We love yoฯ…, bฯ…t this is horrible news. Romo doing chiefs cowboys is going to be brฯ…tal,” one fan said.

“Tell yoฯ…r bosses the rest of America wants to see different teams. I know Swift fans = ratings, bฯ…t Chiefs are washed and sit barely above .500. Thank ฯ… for attending my TED talk,” added another.

“Any chance for alternative streaming broadcast? Getting tired of of the mฯ…te bฯ…tton, no romo,” wrote a third.

“NOBODY WANTS THIS MUCH ROMO,” claimed a foฯ…rth.

“NO ONE WANTS THIS,” posted a fifth.

“I (expletive) hate CBS,” added a sixth.

The Chiefs will take on the Colts in Week 12 on Sฯ…nday, Nov. 23, at 1 p.m. ET.
