Why Jim Nantz and Tony Romo aren’t calling an NFL game on Sunday for CBS in Week 16

There’s a good reason for this.

If you’re watching any of the NFL games on CBS on Sunday in Week 16, you may notice an absence: There’s no Jim Nantz or Tony Romo on the mics anywhere for the network.

Why is that the case?

There’s a very good reason for that: It’s because Nantz and Romo will be calling the Christmas Day game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, Dec. 25 for CBS. So they’re getting Christmas Eve off as they prep for that contest the next day.

There’s your answer! You’ll see them tomorrow! Happy Holidays and enjoy your Sunday of NFL action.
