"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 Chiefs average 9 penalties a game and have committed 10 or more penalties in 5 of their 11 games. Basically half of our games have 10 penalties with different ref crews officiating these games

Couldn’t be Andy huh? It’s a league wide hit job on the Chiefs!

Have you met Blackop by chance?

If the Chargers are within the division title on the Thursday night game...it'll make the Patriots/Rams officiating look legit. Maybe the NFL will create a "nostalgia" crew headed by Triplette....

My biggest issue with it, is how the broadcast and such just gloss over it. Alteast Collinsworth will call them out on it from time to time.

But, can't rock the boat I guess.

The broadcast team definitely had something to say about one of the penalties on the Rams though! I believe it was the helmet to helmet call late in the 4th (that if anything made us score faster leaving more time on the clock).

I guess I don’t give a shit about it bc it hasn’t mattered anymore. That would be a death sentence if we still had Alex but no more. We came right back in the 2nd quarter like it was nothing.

We overcame penalties in Denver and barely lost in NE and LA with a chance to win in the end.

Bullshit calls like the Titans game doesn’t matter with Mahomes because we score in the 2nd half.

I feel optimistic. We lost with 2 chances to win or tie. Mahomes ain’t making those mistakes a second time.

They blew another spot in our favor early in the game. It was 3rd and 3 we got a 5 yard penalty and I was still 3rd and 3. All Star officiating!

Like I said, it was the worst/most biased officiating I’ve ever seen in my life.
The guy that gave us the bad spot on the kick return also gave the bad Tyreek spot. He also didn’t call the false starts. Maybe that one guy has some gambling debts or something.

Well, that's a FASCINATING theory...except I heard the NFL fired a guy for a single bad call this year.

If that's the standard, then the guy who gave the bad spots and didn't call the false starts must be doing exactly what the league wants.

Judging by the length of this thread I'm going to assume others noticed the several false starts by the tackle as well as the illegal blocks?

Houston probably had hand prints all over his back from guys hitting him from behind... which is apparently not a penalty now.

Or are we just talking about how the refs spotted the rams a 2 touchdown lead?
