PEBBLE BEACH — Jim Nantz is big on dates, and Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of his first trip to Pebble Beach Golf Links for CBS Sports. It’s a sure bet that he will have a much larger role this weekend than he did for his first assignment.

After Buffalo's failed conversion on fourth and five with 2:01 to play in Sunday's AFC Championship, the thrill of victory (for Chiefs fans) and agony of defeat (for Bills fans) was temporarily suspended.

Jim Nantz has been married to his wife, Courtney Richards, since 2012. The sportscaster is best known for anchoring CBS’s coverage of the Masters Tournament since 1989 and being the lead play-by-play announcer on NFL coverage for the broadcaster, but in his personal life, he’s a devoted husband to Richards.

Interestingly enough, Kevin Harlan and Devin McCourty, calling the game for Westwood One Radio, also said there was a flag on the play, with McCourty speculating that it was for Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins taking his helmet off.

While the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium erupted in joy, Jim Nantz on the CBS broadcast quickly said there was a flag on the play, giving Bills fans a little bit hope during a very dark moment. But then talk of the flag quickly went away as refs apparently didn't throw one and no penalty was called.

Davis Love III underwent surgery last week and is now recovering at home, with eyes on breaking a PGA Tour record.

For a brief second after Josh Allen's desperate fourth down heave hit the turf at Arrowhead Stadium, the Buffalo Bills had hope. "There is a flag,” CBS play-by-play standby Jim Nantz announced to the masses watching at home.

CBS Sports begins its 68th consecutive year broadcasting the PGA Tour this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, which, in itself, is an “Eye”-popping figure, to borrow some network terminology. For nearly two-thirds of that run, Jim Nantz has been a mainstay in the network’s golf coverage.

Josh Allen is usually efficient while attempting a quarterback sneak or tush push, as the Gen Z slang quantified it. The Buffalo Bills played bold and went for the sneak twice in the same drive.

Tight end Dalton Kincaid was able to track down the ball but could not haul it in, turning the ball over to the Chiefs who ran out the clock and secured the 32-29 victory. There was a bit of mystery on the play, however, with CBS announcer Jim Nantz saying officials had thrown a flag -- a call that was never explained during the broadcast.

Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.

For a few seconds Sunday night, Jim Nantz — and the CBS scorebug — gave the Bills some hope during the fourth quarter of their AFC championship clash against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Josh Allen’s final heave that went through the hands of a diving Dalton Kincaid had fallen incomplete.
