Jim Nantz most certainly heard what came out of the mouth of Tony Romo, but he chose to ignore it.
For the first time in quite some time, the Washington Commanders are actually relevant.
With them playing well, it means announcers must get used to saying their name correctly.
Romo knows what it is like to play against the Washington franchise, as he was the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys for years.
However, on Sunday, he was on call alongside Jim Nantz to call the game between the Washington Commanders and Baltimore Ravens when he made a glaring mistake.
The first touchdown came midway through the second quarter as Derrick Henry punched home a touchdown.
Before the score, Jim Nantz and Romo were talking about the game. Along the way, Romo referred to the Commanders as the Redskins.
Nantz heard it, but declined to correct the mistake on air.

Romo claimed, “the Redskins are lucky,” in reference to a play that could have seen Baltimore score.
Tony Romo Had a Positive Record Against the Washington Franchise
Tony Romo may have called the Commanders another name that he was familiar with, but it is because he has a good record against playing against them.
Romo was 11-9 against the Washington Redskins in his career.
