Head Referee Announced For Steelers-Broncos

After questionable officiating from Brad Rogers and his crew in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, the team will see Clete Blakeman as the referee for their Week 2 matchup against the Denver Broncos, per Football Zebras.

Blakeman is a veteran, having been a referee since 2010. He worked the Dallas Cowboys-Cleveland Browns matchup last week which Dallas won 33-17. The Cowboys were called for 11 flags totaling 85 yards, while the Browns had 11 penalties for 64 yards, so Blakeman’s crew isn’t afraid to throw flags, with 22 total penalties in the Week 1 matchup.
