"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)

Yes, the owners with a commissioner. Why do you think I keep saying that this won't end until Hunt ends it? Until he walks into a meeting and says he thinks his family has gone long enough without being the favored franchise, this won't end. If that doesn't work, as a free American man, he can become less of a hermit in the press. IOW, he can do battle in the owners meeting, and out of it if necessary, if they don't make sure the agenda/drama/saga doesn't have the script writers shift the NFL script to favor the Chiefs for a few years. IOW, Hunt needs to become more effective in his silence, or quit being silent.

Then again, I don't think Hunt cares, he's fine being an NPC owner.

To prove that you have to show me that every game is rigged because 'the NFL' encompasses all games played by every team every season.

The NFL thanks you for your support and faith. Lord knows they're counting on it...

It was in 2000 I believe. I’m talking more crowd noise. We all know arrowhead can be intimidating. Need to bring out the 90s crowd noise

While disgusting, it's sad that fans really don't have any recourse against NFL officials short of not watching anymore. IT'S NOT OK to do that, but if there was something else those asshole idiots could have done (realistically), I'm sure that might not have happened.

But hey, like the Chiefs players and front office took the Steeler and Titan playoff games in stride, some fans (us...) can't even count on the franchise making a stink about bad officiating. At least not in the moment or while it matters.

Nope.

Still untrue, though, Mr. GloryDayz.

Chiefs two biggest national games were Patriots and Rams...

Their combined offensive penalties were 2 for 15 yards.....15 YARDS in two games. Chiefs got 66% of that on their first offensive snap...

The NFL calls everything it sees, but only sees what it wants. It's not hard...

So in the first 79 minutes of KCs two biggest, prime-time games (NE/Rams)...Chiefs have 14 penalties for 150 yards vs. zero.

Nothing to see here...

Again, the NFL machine just laughs at KC and their upset fans. #1 Small market. #2 Hunt family...
