Bet you didn’t have Jim Nantz closing the AFC Championship broadcast with a Kobe Bryant reference on your Bingo card. Nantz and Tony Romo were on the call as Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs beat Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills,

Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.

Tony Romo and Jim Nantz were on the call for the AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills

For a few seconds Sunday night, Jim Nantz — and the CBS scorebug — gave the Bills some hope during the fourth quarter of their AFC championship clash against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Josh Allen’s final heave that went through the hands of a diving Dalton Kincaid had fallen incomplete.

CBS Sports begins its 68th consecutive year broadcasting the PGA Tour this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, which, in itself, is an “Eye”-popping figure, to borrow some network terminology. For nearly two-thirds of that run, Jim Nantz has been a mainstay in the network’s golf coverage.

Nantz is aware not only of the Chiefs’ quest to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, but their attempt to join the New York Giants as the only teams to appear in a title game five times in a six-season span.

David Berson, president and CEO of CBS Sports, said it was critical to hear from a player who is a major winner and a former world No. 1.

CBS lead NFL director Mike Arnold said his team scouts suites before the game to see which camera can get the best shot of a luxury box. Things such as glare, time of day and if the window is up or down all play a role regarding which camera operator is assigned.

There’s a time when we will look back and say… how lucky were we?” Those are the words that Jim Nantz uses to punctuate an incredible intro video for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.

Joe Buck is likely getting the last laugh on this one. The ESPN sportscaster had some fun with an online troll Sunday during the Chiefs’ AFC Championship win over the Bills, even as the critic missed the mark where facts are concerned.

Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce talked about the team's shot at NFL history with their latest Super Bowl appearance.
