The NFL botched the international showcase of Monday Night Football; it won’t when it comes to officiating.
The Monday night matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams at the Los Angeles Coliseum will feature only officials that are considered “all-stars,” per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.
Referee Clete Blakeman will work the game with only two members of his regular crew, umpire Ramon George and down judge Dana McKenzie. The other five officials -- including Jim Lapetina, who will handle replay -- were plucked from four other crews.
