Officiating Crew for Chiefs Game

[Nepa]

Evidently Bill Vinovich's crew called only four defensive holding penalties all season, second-lowest in the league.

Top penalties his crew called this year:
Offensive Holding: 31
False Start: 24
Offsides: 13
DPI: 12
Unnecessary Roughness: 10
Delay of Game


Chiefs fans are saying If you want to jam the Bengals receivers at the line and play physical downfield, this is the crew you want calling the game

We shall see

When I re-watched the Bengals-Chiefs, I was appalled at how many times the Chiefs got away with holding ouir WRs They did call the key penalties at the end, but during the game it was the Chiefs' basic strategy. My big worry about the game was to get an officiating crew that would not call the holding calls.

I guess the Chiefs complaining about the calls at the end worked out and they got a referee crew suited to their style of holding our WRs.
