Jerome Boger and his Eastern-based crew will be on hand this Thursday as the Broncos meet the Jets at MetLife Stadium. Craig Wrolstad is off this week.

Clete Blakeman’s crew has been taken off the Colts-Bears game following the positive covid-19 tests from the Tennessee Titans; Blakeman’s crew officiated the game between the Titans and Vikings last week.

Additionally, the Titans-Steelers and Patriots-Chiefs games have been postponed due to increasing positive test results from those teams. All other scheduled game assignments are subject to change due to the pandemic.
