Wait what?!

On this last Sunday of October, several teams were in action. While the famous "rush the passer" call seems to have calmed down among the referees, they once again made the headlines.

First of all, during the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the head referee Clete Blakeman lost his words when calling the penalties. A penalty for "making a move not necessary and unlike football". 

See the video here posted by NFL on CBS:


Afterwards, during the Seahawks game against the New York Giants, the referee Jerome Boger responsible for calling the penalties on the microphone didn't choose the right sport. He called the Seahawks the Mariners. Even Hawks coach Pete Carroll laughed at him.

Watch here:

It is still early in the season, but the referee seemed to be a bit tired yesterday.
