J.J. Watt and Jim Nantz delivered an animated CBS call of Ravens-Cowboys in Rio, where Baltimore won on Tyler Loop’s 56-yard walk-off field goal. Lamar Jackson set it up with a 27-yard completion to Zay Flowers with seven seconds left.
Watt is filling in for Tony Romo, who is on indefinite leave after being arrested in Wisconsin earlier this summer on suspicion of driving under the influence. During the third quarter, Rio fans sang along to Chitãozinho & Xororó’s 1990 hit “Evidências.” Watt said he did not understand the words but enjoyed the moment; Nantz compared it with Americans singing “Sweet Caroline.”
Watt and Nantz’s Week 4 assignment remained unclear. CBS could choose the Patriots at Bills at noon CT, Broncos at 49ers at 3:25 p.m. CT or Chargers at Seahawks at 3:25 p.m. CT. The article said no plans for Romo’s return to the booth appeared in sight.
