100% a foul for UNS-taunting. He directs his “flex” at and stood over the offensive player. If he directs this into the backfield away from opponents, no foul
No Fun League. Eagles, Smith Jr flagged for taunting after flexing here.
Statement from NFL Referees Association executive director Scott Green, who says: “It is insulting and preposterous to hear conspiracy theories that somehow 17 officiating crews consisting of 138 officials are colluding to assist one team.”


Ron Torbert is the referee for Super Bowl LIX, his second in 4 seasons footballzebras.com/2025/01/ron-to…
NFL Officiating Rules Analyst Walt Anderson appeared on @NFLGameDay with a detailed explanation of the controversial flags thrown Saturday for hits on #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. Short version, per Anderson: Under the rules, officials got both calls right.
QBs are defenseless throughout the play after an INT. Should’ve been a 15y penalty from the spot of the foul. 1/10 for WAS #NFLPlayoffs #DETvsWAS
Goff takes a hard hit to the head. Rules analyst says this should've been a flag for the helmet to helmet.
Based on prior assignments over the years, the Super Bowl officials come from the Divisional round #NFLPlayoffs
Great call for a PF as the defender continues his engagement OOB, which is fine, but then gives an extra shove at the end throwing the runner to the ground #GBvsPHI
Packers called for a personal foul on this play. 📺: FOX
After review, Referee Brad Allen says the call “stands”. There needs to be clear and obvious evidence the Packers recovered. He and the replay official felt it wasn’t clear enough
Packers fumble. It looks like Nixon has control of the ball while on the ground and then the ball was taken from him. Refs reviewed and said Eagles got the ball
Biggest difference from regular season is if the team on their first possession of OT scores a TD, the game is not over. The team on DEF still has the chance to possess the ball
The @NFL postseason overtime rules were updated in 2022 to allow each team an opportunity to possess the ball. These rules are in effect throughout the #NFLPlayoffs. Full rules available here: ops.nfl.com/OTRules


Here are the referee assignments for Wild Card Weekend! #NFLPlayoffs

A rare play indeed! Have only heard of it happening at the HS level. Something of note, this is not a rule in NCAA
🚨🚨WE HAVE WITNESSED HISTORY🚨🚨 #CHARGERS, DICKER THE KICKER HITS THE FAIR CATCH FREE KICK FROM 57 YARDS OUT. The last successful fair catch kick was done by the Chargers in 1976 by Ray Wersching. This is the longest free kick in NFL HISTORY. 🤯🤯🤯
When a defender is beat and chasing, their timing of contact needs to be perfect to avoid a foul. Here, in real-time, it is. A true bang-bang play. A no-call is correct here

Officiating crews for the 2024 college football conference championship games
Here are the first assignments in college postseason play
Roughing the passer. Not sure how this was missed
I see a new rule interpretation happening after this play
Pretty tough to sell the defender was blocked into the punter here. Forcible contact to the plant leg is roughing. 15 yards, auto 1st down
Pretty clear running into the punter not called…Calvin Austin’s punt return TD stands as a result #NYGvsPIT
You would hope replay would’ve stepped in this situation and reset the clock with more than 1 sec coming off
🚨BREAKING: #Bears fans are very angry with the refs and the Washington clock operator for rigging the time for the #Commanders… throughout the game “The operator really likes Washington… he’s trying the best he can, but someone caught him.” - Tony Romo
Correct call for targeting. WR was defenseless, any forcible contact to the head/neck area is targeting
Ohio State was called for TARGETING on this call… Do you agree with this?
