IRVING, Texas -- Perhaps the Dallas Cowboys will see a friendly face in referee Carl Cheffers Sunday.
Cheffers’ crew will work the game against the Seattle Seahawks, and since 2010 the Cowboys are 3-0 with Cheffers as the referee, although he has not worked a Dallas game since Week 3 in 2013, a 31-7 win against the St. Louis Rams.
The Cowboys won both of their games with Cheffers as the referee in 2010, beating the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions. In those games, the Cowboys were flagged 20 times for 160 yards, while their opponents were flagged 20 times for 149 yards.
