Tony Romo’s prescience has been a major reason for his rise as an NFL broadcaster. It even landed him a $180 million contract with CBS.

Famous for predicting plays before they happen, the 40-year-old ex-Cowboys quarterback made a different kind of prognostication on Nov. 29 when the Chiefs defeated the Buccaneers in Tampa, forecasting the Super Bowl 2021 matchup.

“I’m gonna make a slight guess here. I think there’s a better than good chance — I don’t know what even that percentage is — that these two are gonna be here in Tampa,” Romo said as the final seconds ticked off the Chiefs’ 27-24 win over the Buccaneers.

“Wow,” Jim Nantz responded.

Romo, of course, turned out to be right. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will be the first team in NFL history to play a Super Bowl at home after defeating the Packers in Sunday’s NFC Championship game. The Chiefs topped the Bills in the AFC Championship game to reach their second straight Super Bowl.

The Chiefs improved to 10-1 with that victory while the Buccaneers fell to 7-5.

While Brady has proven once again he can never be counted out, it was a relatively bold prediction at the time given some of the offensive issues Tampa Bay had been through during Brady’s first season with the Bucs after leaving the Patriots following 20 seasons and six Super Bowl victories.

But the Buccaneers came out of their bye week to finish the season with four straight wins, clinching the NFC’s coveted No. 5 spot in the NFL playoffs. They won three road games over Washington, New Orleans and Green Bay to reach their first Super Bowl since winning in their first appearance 18 years ago.

Romo and Nantz will call Super Bowl 2021 for CBS.
