Steratore with a 73% home win percentage.

Calls an average of 14 penalties a game this year with 44% of those against the home teams.

His stats this year favor the home team in every facet

Looked it up cause I was curious:
Saints 6 penalties for 52 yards
Vikes 5 penalties for 50 yards

And I must have blocked out that game as soon as it was over, but Saints were 1/5 in red zone and 0/3 in goal to go situations? Damn.

It is worth mentioning that this is not his crew. He is the head official but it was said last week that each person is hand selected.

The only member of his regular crew is Ellison.

This doesn't matter. Didn't the crew last game call 50/50 home vs visitor. How'd that turn out? Not so good for the Saints in penalties.

That is NFL logic at its best - it’s playoff time, so put together an officials team that has not worked together the entire year. Makes sense to someone, not me.

Aren't they trying to pick out those who graded highest at each position? Maybe it breaks up the season long biases.

Yep. I wonder how many in the basketball audience recognize him. I like the guy, but he's had some issues lately (paper measurement).
