The NFL has removed an officiating crew from its Sunday Night Football assignment following what the league deemed a poor showing, according to a report from The Comeback.
The decision comes after the crew's performance in a recent prime-time game drew scrutiny. The NFL routinely evaluates officiating crews each week and can reassign or remove crews from high-profile games based on their grading.
Sunday Night Football, the league's marquee weekly prime-time broadcast, typically receives one of the highest-graded officiating crews. The removal underscores the league's emphasis on officiating consistency in its most-watched regular-season window.
No specific details about the crew involved, the game in question, or the nature of the performance issues were immediately disclosed.
