Down 17-10 and with halftime fast approaching, the Chiefs were faced with a crucial third and three from Cincinatti's 24-yard line.

With 44 seconds left on the clock, quarterback Patrick Mahomes dropped back and hit receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling for what would have been, at the very least, a first down.

However, the ball slipped straight through his awaiting hands, leading to boos from around Arrowhead Stadium.

Nantz and Romo subsequently discussed the Chiefs' season-long issues with dropped balls - a category in which they lead the NFL as of Week 17.

"Well, you talked about their ball's dropping," Romo commented.

Whether or not Romo intended to say 'their dropped balls,' or if his NSFW comment was intentional is unclear.

Regardless, the damage was done.

X, formerly known as Twitter, lit up with comments from viewers who caught Romo's NSFW comment.
