What Can We Expect From the Prime-Time NFL Officiating Crews in Week 11?
The prime-time games in Week 11 will see two NFL refs taking charge who are at or below average when it comes to penalties per game. Shawn Hochuli’s crew is right in the middle of the pack, with 12.33 penalties per game. However, when it comes to total flags, they are slightly above average, with 14.78 flags per game.
Hochuli’s group appears to be marginally tougher on visiting teams than the home team. They average 5.89 penalties on home teams, compared to 6.44 per game on road teams. However, in three games this year, they have actually penalized the home team more often than the road team.
Of their 111 penalties this year, 52 have been for offensive holding or false starts. No crew has called more offensive holding penalties this year than Hochuli’s, averaging just over three per game. Additionally, this crew is third in terms of false starts, averaging 2.67 per game.
We may see a more flowing game on Monday Night Football, as Craig Wrolstad and his crew are one of two groups to average fewer than 10 penalties per game (9.56) and 11 flags per game (10.89).
This group is actually slightly harsher, relatively, on road teams than Hochuli’s, with 4.44 penalties per game on home teams compared to 5.11 on road teams. However, given this game is being played at a neutral site in Mexico City, it likely carries less relevance.
Where this crew is particularly tough is on offensive holding. Despite being the second lowest in total penalty count, they are tied for the third most offensive holding calls (23). More than 26% of their penalties this year have been offensive holding. Meanwhile, this crew has called just two unnecessary roughness penalties, the second-fewest in the league.
