"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 mlb loves Chicago and the red Sox and look how long they went.

The Chiefs were the least penalized team in football for most of Marty's tenure. We didn't win shit.

Good teams overcome bad calls.

Because they wanted the best refs to ref their biggest game of the year.

So answer my question instead of trying to flip it.

It's really that simple. If we don't turn the ball over, it doesn't matter how many penalties the refs called, we would have won that game.

Literally nobody has mentioned how we got away with a clear pass interference in the end zone. If scandrick holds on to the ball plenty of Rams fans would claim the refs let it go because of the "mahomes mania". And that's why they lost.

If that play happened against KC a thread would be dedicated to it.

Smoking gun, perhaps not. Something very noteworthy in a league with parity, yes, very noteworthy...

But alas, the Hunts have had enough!!!! What they've had enough of is the question...

I think it would be more noteworthy if we had good QB's over the years and still didn't get over the hump. You can't just run probability numbers because this isn't a coin toss.

Plenty of teams in sports, even those in big markets, have gone as long or longer than KC has. If KC has been held out for specific reasons, why have the Jets? Certainly it isn't the market.

The Cowboys haven't been to the SB in 24 years. Their owner runs his mouth nonstop.
