Tony Romo had quite the head-scratching analysis of the Patriots defense on Sunday ... saying they're a bunch of dudes who are all "DTF."
"Details, toughness, and they finish."
Yeah ... that's not what "DTF" usually stands for.
The intended high praise came in the second quarter of New England's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers .... when the Pats stuffed running back Rachaad White for a loss on first down.
"Fundamentally sound ... this team is DTF, Jim," Romo told his partner, Jim Nantz.
