One NFL officiating crew was so dangerous in Week 7, it seems to have price them an opportunity to officiate a nationally televised recreation.
The officiating crew headed by Alex Moore was initially assigned to referee Sunday’s recreation between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders. Nonetheless, according to Football Zebras, the crew was abruptly taken off the sport Thursday and re-assigned to a Sunday afternoon recreation between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.
Moore’s crew is similar one which was on responsibility for final Sunday’s recreation between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions. The crew’s efficiency drew widespread criticism as they threw a number of questionable flags that went towards Inexperienced Bay in what proved to be a 20-17 Lions win.
A transfer like that is uncommon, however not unprecedented. It’s, nevertheless, virtually actually not a coincidence. The league presumably didn’t need Moore and his crew to be a possible topic of dialogue on one in every of its primetime broadcasts and quietly selected to shift them to a much less seen recreation as a substitute.
Shawn Hochuli’s crew will take cost of the Sunday night time recreation as a substitute after initially being assigned to the Patriots-Dolphins matchup.
