"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)

If KC is up late...you better believe those "mystery" flags are going to fly...seems like defensive holding is their bailout method of choice on failed 3rd downs. They love ignoring holding calls on OL too...*see Steelers comeback in week 2*

On offense, they like calling holding on 1st down....pretty effective way to control momentum swings.

I'm getting a little worried about defensive holding every time we have a chance to stop them on 3rd down. The refs know we sorta hold on every play. They can just wait until the highest-leverage spots to call it.

Even without all the conspiracy crap, why do this?

The NFL is basically doing something unprecedented. Why? The way this game has been handled has been ridiculous, IMO. All of this is stupid.

All conspiracy theories aside, if you are the NFL, and you have referees that do your games for you, then you, by your actions of letting them ref at this level, are making a statement that they are competant. By changing crews around and plucking different refs from different crews for a game between non conference opponents, you are making a statement that most of your refs aren't competant enough to do this game.

This reeks if you ask me. There are much bigger games than this one every season. Games between conference rivals, division rivals, etc. And all of a sudden they need to cherry pick refs for this game? It reeks of some sort of preference for a predetermined outcome.

Well, this has never been done before from what I gather. So why now? It's done for playoff games, and that's it. Why hasn't it been done time after time for late in the year divisional games that are huge? Why this game. THis stinks, and there is no other way around that.

Both of us said "conspiracy theories aside".

So forget conspiracy theories.

What LEGITIMATE reason does the NFL have for doing this? It's just dumb.

Maybe the complaints about the refereeing have started to take some sort of form beyond fans bitching about it to each other? What that form would be I don’t know, I’m just throwing out a possibility.

I think they just know that a Monday night game of two 9-1 teams, featuring two of the young gun top QB's is going to have a huge audience and they just want to get it right.

I mean, I know, not as fun as a huge conspiracy, but, you know...

Exactly. There is no legitimate reason for the NFL to do this, particularly for this game. I mean, aside from it being two 9-1 teams, this really isn't that big of a game. Unless of course, you are trying to make sure that there is a certain outcome for a future game to take place. It freaking smells.

I'm starting to hate primetime games, it seems the refs always try to keep the game close for either ratings or vegas or both.
