What Can We Expect To See From the Prime-Time NFL Officiating Crews in Week 9?
It could be a long couple of games on Sunday Night and Monday Night Football this week. The crews of the two refs taking charge of those games are among the most flag happy in the entire league.
On Sunday Night Football, we will have the crew of Blakeman, who ranks second in the league in terms of penalty count this year. Their 102 penalties are ahead of four crews that have officiated a game more than them. From a perspective of being even, they have at least called it straight down the middle, with 51 penalties on both the home and road teams.
They have been particularly harsh on offenses this year, with 32 combined penalties for false starts and offensive holding. That is compounded by another 15 penalties for illegal formations and delays of the game. Meanwhile, they have 15 penalties for defensive holding and defensive pass interference.
Meanwhile, on Monday Night Football, Rogers’ crew sits fifth in terms of total penalties with 95. Three of the four teams ahead of them have officiated an extra game, so on a per-game basis, Rogers’ crew has the third most penalties. They have also been even in their penalty distribution, with 47 on the home and 48 on the road.
Rogers’ crew have also thrown 32 (more than a third) of their flags for offensive holding and false starts. One other penalty to watch out for with this crew is for an ineligible man downfield on forward passes. No crew has more penalties this year for that infringement than this one.
