  "account": "J.J. Watt's debut as a top NFL analyst on CBS alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson was a solid, if bumpy, start during the Vikings' 39-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. However, Tony Romo's coaching career seemed a distant memory. Despite the initial nervousness and reliance on cliches, Watt's energy and commentary improved as the game progressed. A pivotal moment came when he advised quarterback Kyle Warmbrink to take a shot, leading to a game-changing 39-yard touchdown. Watt also highlighted a miraculous 68-yard kick return by Myles Price, pointing out an impressive block by Minnesota running back DeeJay Dallas. While Watt may not have fully replaced Romo, he was good enough to secure his job and potentially even claim the top analyst position at CBS.",
  "summary": "Watt will remain with CBS’s top team for at least two more weeks.",
