Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will look to get back on track in Week 11 as they hit the road to face Bo Nix and the AFC West–leading Denver Broncos. The Chiefs stumbled out of the gate this season, dropping their first two games, but entered their Week 10 bye having climbed back to a 5-4 record.
Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts, on the other hand, have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this year. They entered their Week 11 bye with an 8-2 record following a win over the Atlanta Falcons, tied for the best record in the league with the New England Patriots and the Broncos.

But after their week off, Jones and the Colts face a major challenge in Week 12 as they travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on Mahomes and the Chiefs. On Thursday, CBS Sports assigned its lead broadcast team to the AFC showdown, featuring former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson.
“It’s official,” Wolfson wrote on X. “Jim, @tonyromo and I will be in KC next week for #chiefs #colts . That’s 4 straight KC games for us when you include Thanksgiving!”

It may not come as a surprise that CBS selected another Chiefs game for its lead crew, given the dynasty’s popularity, helped even further by Travis Kelce’s fiancée, Taylor Swift. Romo, Nantz and Wolfson have already called three Kansas City games in 2025, and they’ll be on the call again when the Chiefs face the Broncos.
Still, NFL fans were not happy with CBS assigning its lead team to yet another Chiefs game, despite an elite matchup against the Colts, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.

“We love you, but this is horrible news. Romo doing chiefs cowboys is going to be brutal,” one fan said.
“Tell your bosses the rest of America wants to see different teams. I know Swift fans = ratings, but Chiefs are washed and sit barely above .500. Thank u for attending my TED talk,” added another.
“Any chance for alternative streaming broadcast? Getting tired of of the mute button, no romo,” wrote a third.
“NOBODY WANTS THIS MUCH ROMO,” claimed a fourth.

“NO ONE WANTS THIS,” posted a fifth.
“I (expletive) hate CBS,” added a sixth.
The Chiefs will take on the Colts in Week 12 on Sunday, Nov. 23, at 1 p.m. ET.
