As soon as we all heard Tony Romo was going to be calling Super Bowl LIII we knew he was going to tell us what the plays were going to be before they happened. Of course, our faith was well placed and once again Romo’s ability to tell us things before we see them is borderline terrifying.

First half.
- With just under 10 minutes left in the half the Rams were in a run-heavy offense. Romo remarked “you’ve got to take a shot down the field here,” immediately before Jared Goff took an 18-yard shot downfield to Robert Woods for a completion.
- With just over a minute left in the half the Rams were rushing their offense. Romo said “you don’t take a timeout here, you get a little aggressive.” The Rams did not call a time out, and threw a 14-yard pass downfield.
Second half.
- With the game being an utter punt-fest, Romo had some advice for the Rams: “It’s time to stand in, slide in the pocket and make a big throw if you’re Goff.” The Rams’ QB then made the biggest pass of the game to Robert Woods.
Special Honors.
Before Stephen Gostkowski’s missed field goal in the first quarter Jim Nantz mentioned that Gostkowski missed a kick in the stadium before, to which Romo said “don’t do it again to him!” We’ll take this as a half-prediction.
