The job of an NFL official can place them in harm’s way, quite literally.
Perhaps Aaron Rodgers most impressive highlight of the day had a funny feature to boot. One poor soul, back judge Dino Paganelli, is plastered all over Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s 78-yard touchdown catch against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Paganelli’s most obvious role is as a moving screen. Without Paganelli literally cutting across the field in the opposite direction of MVS in a last-ditch effort to get away from the play, it’s quite possible that Valdes-Scantling wouldn’t have scored.

Paganelli is also a hype man, adding more viewership to an MVS highlight in similar fashion to 50-year-old Jay-Z pretending he can still rap on your mixtape. It sounds cool, but is it really adding anything of substance? Paganelli would beg to differ.
*record scratch*

This has been your breakdown of the week.

3. Boston Scott: In or out?
Boston Scott owns the Giants and the officiating crew. Scott really does seem to bring his A-game anytime he steps foot in the Meadowlands. On a fifty-plus yard touchdown scamper to start the second half, Scott appeared to touch the out-of-bounds chalk with his heel.
Once again, the call on the field is the most important aspect of any official review. Everyone has an ego, and for a ref to overturn a group consensus, it has to be clear they made a mistake. While it looks like Scott’s heel is a centimeter out of play, there’s no real angle that shows it. Therefore, the play stands.
You know we couldn’t go a week without the Giants being featured in some capacity.
