NFL Refs Cheered
I don't know if it was a first, but the seven-man crew led by referee Gene Steratore, was cheered before the Thursday Night football on the NFL Network.
The were cheered from the moment they walked onto the field, the men in stripes ran a smooth and efficient game Thursday night as the NFL's lockout of officials came to an end with the Baltimore Ravens' 23-16 win over the Browns. No incidents.
