When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders kick off on Sunday Afternoon, they will have Alan Eck as the head referee, per the Week 6 game capsule from NFL communications. In terms of officiating crews, Eck and company seem to be pretty balanced and not too flag-happy over the first five games of the season.
This is Eck’s second season as a head referee, though he has nine total years of experience in the NFL. He entered the league as a side judge before becoming an umpire. He also spent time officiating in the Big 12 and Mountain West conferences in college.
