Romo will tote his crystal ball into Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday to perform for what almost undoubtedly will be his biggest audience ever, as he’ll be the analyst alongside play-by-play announcer Nantz for CBS’ telecast of the Rams-Patriots Super Bowl matchup (KMOV, Channel 4 locally at 5:30 p.m.). And he’s eager to grab his microphone.
Romo has been making it work for two seasons, and was especially sharp in the AFC title game on Jan. 20. He foreshadowed a New England run to the right side that resulted in a touchdown by Sony Michel, then later a pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski.
