BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - The Philadelphia Eagles have made it a major point of emphasis to scout referee Gene Steratore and his crew in preparation for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup with the New England Patriots, according to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
Players have been shown video cut-ups of their calls, with a focus on pass interference and defensive holding - especially in the wake of the calls made against the Jaguars that helped the Patriots win the AFC championship game.
"We kind of use that to understand what they like to call, know what they are looking for, and pretty much just help us play a cleaner game so we know what to expect from them and they know what to expect from us," said Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham.
