Report: Referees from Raiders-Bengals game not expected to work rest of playoffs

The referees took center stage in Saturday's AFC wild-card playoff game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals, but it looks like no other teams will have to deal with that particular crew for the rest of the postseason.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, that referee crew, headed by Jerome Boger, isn't likely to receive high marks for its performance in Saturday's game, and isn't expected to be assigned to work any other games in the playoffs this season.

Boger's crew became the focus of the game in the second quarter when it made a controversial call that increased the Bengals' lead and ended up being the difference-maker in Cincy's 26-19 win.
