Brad Rogers will serve as the head referee for Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders. While that might bring some good news for the Steelers’ chances of winning, what it guarantees are plenty of flags being thrown. And plenty of time seeing Rogers on your television.
Per Pro Football Reference’s wonderful data, Rogers’ crew has consistently thrown more flags than average. In 2024, his team is issuing an average of 13.3 penalties per game. The NFL average is 13.0. That’s consistent with his track record since 2017.
