"Dean Blandino, the NFL’s director of officiating, said he has been working all week with the crews working this week’s games to make sure their game-changing calls are made “more in the flow of the game.” “I don’t want anyone just overturning calls with zero explanation this week,” said Blandino. “To the untrained eye, this weekend’s playoff games will appear to be above board. That is our promise to NFL fans: We will strive to make sure that the NFL seems good and pure to our fans, no matter how bad and rotten it is at its core.”" - Mark H
