To twist a quote from Forest Gump, “NFL officiating is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
In general this principle applies on a week to week basis, and depends upon each officiating crew. With Jeff Triplette? It’s a total crap shoot.
Officiating Crew: Jeff Triplette (referee), Shawn Smith (umpire), Tony Veteri (head linesman), Dyrol Prioleau (field judge), Brad Freeman (back judge), Alex Kemp (side judge), Jeff Bergman (line judge).
Meet Jeff Triplette and his crew of officials.
