"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)

We've seen three marquee games against teams we know the NFL loves (Rams, Steelers, Patriots) with predictably lobsided officiating. And you just know it's going to happen again.

But on that note... they can call holding on just about anything. We've got to stop with the lack of discipline on offsides & false starts.

I was shocked they called a hold when the Chiefs sacked Goff. I thought for sure it was gonna be a personal foul for touching him.
You guys act like this is something new. Does anyone remember the OT for all teams we played putting their arm around the neck of Hali on almost every play?

The game wasn't fixed. This poor old me routine on here is getting old. The NFL loves the Chiefs and Mahomes. They are the exact team they want playing in the NFL. GMF is nothing but a Mahomes lovefest every day. All of the NFL shows tout Mahomes and the Chiefs offense. Other teams fans are bitching about the constant love fest.

Small markets dont matter if your the big dog. Rogers on GB, Mannung in Indy, Hello....

Yet, the NFL wants the Chiefs to lose. That makes no sense. They are not out to "get us". The NFL is promoting the shit out of us on a daily basis. These conspiracy BS is just that BS.

It happens after just about every loss on here. It’s boring and completely stupid to suggest.

You could tell that the fix was in during the opening drive. The NFL didn't bring in an all star cast of refs they brought in a group of refs that they could trust to push the Rams to a victory.

Here come the butt****ing morons to tell us how the officiating wasn’t biased even though there’s plenty of evidence that proves otherwise

The officiating wasn't good, but it went both ways. KC's secondary wasn't turning their heads around. Contact without turning your head is going to get called. The Chiefs were sloppy and undisciplined just like they have been all year. Did the refs not call some holds on Houston, yep - just like they didn't call some on Donald. Some of the false starts were bad and I don't know what they think they saw on the Mahomes incomplete pass to call it a fumble, but KC fans need to stop being such conspiracy snowflakes.
