Walt Anderson, the NFL's senior vice president of officiating, made a surprise appearance on 'Monday Night Football' to defend a non-call.
Something weird happened this week during “Monday Night Football.” The had the ball on the first drive of the game. On first-and-10 from Detroit’s 43-yard-line, quarterback faked a handoff to running back , then turned around to find linebacker closing in for a sack. Goff threw the ball away — well over Gibbs’ head and nowhere near any other Lions player. Advertisement
analyst Troy Aikman and rules analyst John Parry, a former referee, both agreed that the play looked like intentional grounding, but no penalty was called. Nine minutes later, after the Lions kicked a 44-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead, went to a commercial break. When the network came back from the break, it showed a replay of Goff’s incomplete pass, then cut to Walt Anderson, the NFL’s senior vice president of officiating, in the league’s New York command center — a room so dark it looked more like a command cave. Anderson, harshly lit with the camera light reflecting in his glasses, explained why the officiating crew had not flagged Goff.
declined to comment when asked about Anderson’s Monday appearance. Sunday was a tough day for NFL officiating. One club executive called it, “the worst day I can ever remember,” via text. “Officiating is not in a good state right now,” said a staffer for a different NFL team. The was particularly bad for rookie referee Alan Eck’s crew, which has a replacement down judge after the previous down judge was lost for the season with a Week 1 injury.
play-by-play announcer Joe Buck declined to point out the contrast between Parry’s take and Anderson’s defense. “OK, thank you, Walt,” Buck said. “And we’ll leave at that.” “The Football 100,” the definitive ranking of the ’s best 100 players of all time, is on sale now. Order it .
