"All-star" officiating crew for Rams-Chiefs game

NFL ups intensity with all-star officials for Rams-Chiefs game

Kevin Seifert
ESPN.com NFL Nation



The NFL took the unusual step this week of assigning an "all-star" officiating crew to the most highly anticipated game of the season, adding to the playofflike frenzy for Monday night's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams.

Referee Clete Blakeman will work the game with only two members of his regular crew, umpire Ramon George and down judge Dana McKenzie. The other five officials -- including Jim Lapetina, who will handle replay -- were plucked from four other crews.

The approach is similar to how the NFL assigns officials to playoff games, a process that is based on performance and seniority rather than crew. But it is rarely, if ever, employed before the postseason. Officials typically work on the same eight-person crews throughout the regular season to maximize continuity and familiarity among members.

Individual crew members are occasionally juggled for health or scheduling reasons. But a series of actions this season have indicated the league is moving away from the consistent crew concept, in favor of a more aggressive administration of officiating. Earlier this season, the league bounced down judge Hugo Cruz among four crews before ultimately making him its first-ever official to be fired for performance during the season.

NFL spokesman Michael Signora confirmed Sunday that "there is a rotation amongst the crews throughout the season." Signora did not provide details on the decision to overhaul Blakeman's crew for Monday night's game.

An officiating source said Sunday that the five officials added to Monday night's crew are all highly respected and have performed well this season.

The Chiefs-Rams game, originally scheduled to be played in Mexico City before it was relocated to Los Angeles, is a rare matchup. Since 1970, there have been only four other games pitting teams with one or fewer losses this late in the season. And according to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is the latest matchup ever between two teams averaging at least 33 points per game.

The following is the full crew for Monday night's game, as listed on the official flip card published by the NFL, with the officials' permanent referee in parentheses:


Referee: Clete Blakeman

Umpire: Ramon George (Blakeman)

Down judge: Dana McKenzie (Blakeman)

Line judge: Rusty Baynes (John Hussey)

Field judge: Dale Shaw (Jerome Boger)

Side judge: Brad Freeman (Clay Martin)

Back judge: Tony Steratore (Boger)

Replay: Jim Lapetina (Brad Allen)

The 26 penalties not only doubled Blakeman's 2018 average but were the most called by a crew he led since at least the start of the 2012 season,

I don't think it's a conspiracy against the Chiefs, they are just a have not team in terms of how much money can be made off of them.

This isn't something I claim just happens in Chiefs games, it happens in EVERY game. They work to push certain teams to victory every single week. If the Chiefs win yesterday the AFC race is basically wrapped up and it's week 11, you think they want that for that small market team?

There's a reason why certain team can get away with murder and others can not do anything. They refused to let the Steelers lose that Jags game just the same as they tried to prevent the Chargers from losing best they could.

And for the argument the refs just suck, you'd have to be an idiot to believe they suck but somehow their sucktitude always favors the same teams.

Bunch of stupid ****ing fans that think they’re somehow better or more intelligent because they don’t ever complain about biased officiating.

In reality you shouldn't unless you accept that for the most part there is an outcome they want and not let it bother you, like say a movie.

I said before had Mahomes not been drafted I was done.

It's totally a narrative that is pushed hard, "can't complain about the refs" "losers bitch about officiating"

It's one of the reasons the NFL can get away with this.
