Forget about that late face mask penalty against Malik Jackson in Week 16 against Cincinnati. And go ahead and forget about those four other penalties he called in that game.
Ed Hochuli will be the referee for Sunday’s AFC championship game and, if you’re a Broncos fan, the only stats you really need to know about him are the most important ones:
Since 1999, the Broncos are 6-1 (4-0 in Denver) in games Hochuli has refereed, according to Pro Football Reference.
The Patriots, meanwhile, are 10-9 (5-6 on the road) in games Hochuli has refereed.
