Report: Referee, Officials From Raiders-Bengals Not Expected to Work Again During Postseason

Referee Jerome Boger and the officials that worked the AFC wild-card game between the Raiders and Bengals on Saturday evening are not expected to officiate another game this postseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

As noted by ESPN, the league grades officials after each game, and Boger and his crew are not expected to receive high marks for Saturday's contest.

Among the most controversial moments was when they ruled that a whistle was blown after Cincinnati wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught a touchdown from quarterback Joe Burrow, despite replays appearing to show otherwise. The play occurred in the second quarter of the contest and gave the Bengals a 20—6 lead.
