"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)

If they want to call a game ultra-tight, that's one thing. It ruins the game, but whatever. But they called it so one-sided that it was a farce. I saw at least seven penalties in the first half that should have been called on the Rams and weren't. They were calling it ultra-tight on the Chiefs and ultra-loose on the Rams.

Whether you want to talk about bias or not, I think anyone can agree that the officiating dominates the game these days. If the officials call a bad game, like they did tonight, it can change the final outcome of the game, which it did tonight.

I guess the NFL is happy, though, because people who know nothing about football probably enjoyed the game.
WOW just LOOK at all these POINTS tonight, Jason!

Considering one and the most blatant false start was not called on a play that resulted in a TD, yeah, someone needs their ass fired. That was a ****ing joke.

That call didn’t amount to dick, but it just showed how little they watch of KC.
The whole thing was a farce.

It's like this drunk crew just tried meth for the first time.

I'll honestly say if Mahomes had not been drafted that was my end as a football fan. All of this bullshit, all of it, the shit that we see in the NFL is faker than WWE.

We are watching a billion dollar entertainment business basically do everything it can to turn the most money. Am I really suppose to believe it's some coincidence that after sucking forever the NFL when it started being a real money making business decided to push the Boston team?

The only reason the Raiders and Cowboys aren't in that list of super pushed teams is because they are to ****ing stupid to take advantage of it. I just find it no coincidence that the favored sons either sit in massive markets or have massive fan bases.

Yeah, they didn't want KC starting fast and running away from their fire narrative. They loosened up later. They also tagged the Rams with a few to "even it out" That's hog shit too.

Turnovers lost the game, but **** these refs with a porcupine.

Even my ass.. KC had 5 more penalties for 75 more yards. And what was worse were the non-calls like the false start on 3rd & goal that resulted in a TD....

So I am to believe a defender could jump on top of Brady or Manning and scream in his face and not get any kind of penalty? That was a gd disgrace and I hope someone puts Peters out on his punk ass sometime soon.

Not calling a false start in a LAC game got a Ref fired a few weeks ago. Needs to happen again.
