"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)

Games are steered towards a certain outcome. No doubt about it.

That and some ticky tack bullshit penalties like the block in the back or the penalty on Murray.
The block in the back call was pretty horrible. I just don't get how that call is made.

On the last replay they even start the play well after the ball is hut and Goff is about to begin running. What a sick joke.
To be fair Witten would have probably gave himself a concussion trying to analyze it.

No, the refs were shit. Nobody is questioning that. Crazy is thinking it's some grand conspiracy against the Chiefs.

I wouldn't say grand conspiracy against the Chiefs - but I would say that the league does have a lot to gain with LA having a successful team.

Not against the Chiefs. But they were pushing that LA fire and shooting shit pretty hard. Not really going to look that great if the Rams don't win.

FFS....they had a mini halftime show.

Like what? What do you think they actually gain by having the Chiefs lose?

As bad as the officiating was the fact remains our D completely blows and the Chiefs had the ball twice at the end and turned it over both times. I’m over this already and ready to piss pound the Raiders into dust as revenge.

It's not about the Chiefs losing - it's about having a successful team in one the largest cities in the US.

Yup

Despite the penalties we had 2 shots and blew it.

Not going to look that great? This was the highest scoring MNF game of all time. It was a high scoring exciting game. I'd venture to guess that the ratings were through the roof. If the Chiefs would have pulled that off, it would have been exactly as exciting. Mahomes is the NFL darling right now. Not Goff.

Rams D made a play and got a tipped ball INT.

Chiefs D made a play and got the ball back with a TO.

Chiefs O just couldn't get it together.

If they don't hit Mahomes arm on the Peters INT, we may not score on that play but were gonna atleast tie it.

Chargers and Rams both had multiple game-altering calls in their favor this weekend. Blatant bad calls. NFl has a new 4 billion stadium being built for both carpetbagger teams. Just coincidence folks- nothing to see here.

SD gets gifted an Offensive Pass Interference call at the end when it was clear it was the D all over him- pushing the Donks out of FG range.

The cheating refs were Not the sole reason the Chiefs lost but were the reason the Donks almost lost. Both games the Refs had a Huge impact. The NFL should be embarrassed by how bad these refs were. Unsportsmanlike conduct for the Peace sign- ridiculous. Letting the Rams Oline hold all night? Blowing the tipped pass call?

How do you explain this if no outside "agenda" exist? Are they just that Bad?
