"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)

Shouldn't the refs that were scheduled to go to mexico be allowed to do the game they were supposed to??? Why would they need new refs?

Saints won and the Chargers lost...looks like the NFL double-downed on tomorrow's night game. The officials blatantly tried in the Donks game...phantom OPI with 37 seconds left and called a 2 point conversion short.

They've assembled their top "dive crew" ...it's LA or bust.

One way I can see it mattering is when it comes to discussing calls. Refs review their performance and that of the crew after a game so if they know from experience that certain discussions or opinions are more likely to lead to correct calls or picking up flags then they can better trust each other during the game.

I wish i could see life like this I really do. The Chief's need to get and maintain a 2 score lead to take the officiating out of it. Under 2 scores and we are screwed. We have to pummel our way to a ring.

Not if the chains are on our side of the field. Of course, our luck we will get charged with harassment.

So a crew put together from several roofers, working together for the first time, can’t build a proper roof because they didn’t have the time talk about it enough?

If anything, this is like putting a squad of policemen from several areas of Missouri. They’ll all know the laws without any situational/zip code bias that could potentially muddy the social perception on big calls.

This is a good thing, this should take away the conspiracy theories. Should, except some of you are just bat shit crazy
