NFL Looking Into Full-Time Officials For Rule Consistency In Game
BALTIMORE (AP) - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league will look into making about 10 game officials full-time employees to help with consistency in the way rules are applied.
Speaking to a group of about 75 fans before the Ravens-Texans playoff game, Goodell said the proposal would have those officials go to the league offices in New York to help review game films and evaluate the calls.
As of now, all of the officiating crews for NFL games are filled with part-time employees.
