Romo’s strange noises and a “DTF” remark sparked complaints from fans earlier in the 2025 NFL season.

Before Super Bowl LVIII, he addressed some of the criticism he’s received.
“It’s a normal arc of someone’s career,” he said at the time. “Honestly, I think a lot of people were rooting against (Patrick) Mahomes because he’s been there. They want to see people new.

You become dominant at things, and then all of a sudden people are like, ‘OK.’ Then at the end, Tiger Woods comes back and everyone roots for you. It’s just a normal arc of a career. It’s not abnormal. It’s absolutely what’s supposed to happen.”
He did say he received some praise for how he called games, though his chemistry with legendary broadcaster Jim Nantz had also been put under the microscope.
