While the Browns and their fans have been rightfully upset with the officials for most of, if not all of the season, today the league finally did something about it.
The league has canned down judge Hugo Cruz on Thursday for “inadequate performance,” a person familiar with the firing has told The Associated Press.
Cruz was the official who was directly responsible for blowing the obvious no-call of a false start that should have been called during the Browns loss to the Chargers two weeks ago.
Chargers tackle Russell Okung false-started on the play and nothing was called, and the play resulted in a touchdown during the Chargers 38-14 win.
