It’s been a while since we’ve posted an “OMG TONY ROMO PREDICTED THE FUTURE!” story, and that’s partially a testament to Romo going beyond predicting plays while in the CBS booth with Jim Nantz.
But even NFL players know Romo is right about a lot of things he says on the air. Just ask Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.
While he waited for a review on a Dallas Goedert touchdown to see if the Patriots had forced a turnover before he had reached the end zone, Wentz apparently asked a CBS camerman what Romo thought. The ex-Cowboy said it was indeed a score, so Wentz responded: “Well, Romo’s always right.”
While the Eagles were waiting for that call, Carson Wentz asked our cameraman what he thought the call was.
The cameraman said "Tony Romo said no question it's a touchdown."
Wentz responded, "Well, Romo's always right."
It ended up being a touchdown. 😉

Romo’s response was funny:
Carson Wentz: Well, it must be a touchdown because Romo's always right."
Tony Romo: "I wish he'd tell my wife that."

And he’s right! Romo sniffed out a trick play the Patriots ran with Julian Edelman, with him saying New England likes to pull up something “unique” when the receiver runs across before the snap:
