"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)

So answer my question instead of trying to flip it.

Do you have something that tells you that claim is remotely true? Some published stats of some sort? Or, perhaps it was because they wanted the refs who are most on board with the NFL's saga storyline and narrative.

All of this. 100% agree.

We had two chances and blew them both. Shit happens. It was inevitable.

I think this loss will help this team tremendously in the playoffs. It was a great learning experience, especially for Mahomes.

Except Reid was the one that needed to learn, Mahomes was in a bad spot on that playcall under 2 minutes. That play looked more like a hail mary than a normal pass play. Sure Mahomes will learn but Reid needs to give him a chance to succeed on every play and teach him when hero ball is not needed on the agenda.

Common sense. There are something like 64 active officials in the NFL, now imagine how many have retired, been fired, replaced or whatever over the last 25 years for example.

You going to actually believe all these people involved in this conspiracy over the years and never a peep about it from any of them or anyone else involved in the NFL which would total probably 500+ people?

The turnovers were a definite contribution to the field position and the scoreboard favoring the Rams.

The officiating also had a significant impact on favorable field position for the Rams, resulting in points.

A bit of questionable game management in the later moments was involved in the final minutes restricting a comeback to a last gasp.

All combined to gift us a Chief's loss and a gift for the NFL.

IMHO.

Yeah I’ve been raging on Andy about that in another thread. He isn’t going to change. Not after 20 years of doing this.

It blows my mind that there are people who watch this and don’t admit it’s a huge problem.

I just asked for the NFL's scoring sheet that showed these folks were the best. Actually I'd like to see all the scoring sheets! And I'd like to know how they're scored. All we know now is they NFL claimed they were the best, but nothing to back it up that I know of.

Wouldn't it be great to know if the NFL has a "totally blown calls" and "s/he missed THAT O-line hold"?

Doesn't that sentiment go both ways? You are speaking just as matter of fact as he is, and have just as much to go on as he does.

I just want to know how the NFL scores their officials and where each ranks. With a sport the "stat'd" to the nth degree, is that too much to ask? If not, what are they hiding?

The NFL calls everything it sees, but only sees what it wants.
