CHRIS Russo was furious over CBS’ broadcast production of the end of the AFC Championship game.
CBS failed to give good angles of some crucial moments at the end of the game, causing Russo to blow a gasket.

The matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs came down to the wire, and viewers didn’t get a good angle of the moment that iced the game for the Chiefs.
Josh Allen launched a pass downfield to tight end Dalton Kincaid that was ultimately dropped on fourth down.
Even worse though, was that CBS flashed the notification that there was a flag on the play even though none were thrown.
Millions of fans not only couldn’t see what happened, but were also tricked into thinking that the Bills might get another shot.
“They did not show the replay properly of the [drop] by Kincaid. They [showed] it from the side, so you really couldn’t see how bad the drop was,” Russo began.
“If you see it now, how do you know how bad the drop is? It is so horrific about not showing you the proper replay.
“You can’t tell how bad it is. There’s bodies in front. That is ridiculous, terrible.”
Russo didn’t forget about the errant penalty notification either, and blasted CBS for that mistake.
“And then — and it’s not Nantz’s fault — they spend 20 minutes telling us there was a flag on the field! They had the yellow flag on the field!” Russo said.
“So if you’re a Buffalo fan, you think there’s a penalty and so you might get the automatic first down on the last drive of the year for your team because they put the penalty flag up.
“And Jimmy for 10 minutes told us, ‘Hold on now, let’s see if there’s a flag. We think there’s a flag,’ and we didn’t even know that there was no flag because they got our hopes up.
“And finally, five minutes later, ohh, they finally showed us the right replay of Kincaid, and that is when [Tony] Romo jumped in and said, ‘Boy, you’ve got to catch that.
“It wasn’t until the Kansas City drive where you saw the fact that Kincaid had the ball in his hands and he dropped it.”
Tony Romo chimed in during that moment to tell fans that he didn’t see a flag on the field.
However, it wasn’t until the flag notification left the screen that play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz let fans know that there was no flag.
The Chiefs got the ball back on the Buffalo 47-yard line after the drop and no-flag saga.
There was 1:54 left on the clock and they easily milked that time to win the game.
The Chiefs are now moving on to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
It is a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl that Kansas City won.
