Blindtown, NY--The NFL made sure they put the most professional officials in charge of a primetime game on Sunday night.
"We at the NFL put only the best product on the field. We never settle for less." The NFL office released in a press statement.
There is a lot of pressure on old men to keep up with the modern day athlete where even the fastest NFL lineman runs a 4.55-second 40-yard dash, while the fastest NFL official runs an 8.2-second 40-yard dash.
NFL officials also face the pressure of trying to figure out one yard when it comes to pick plays that might decide if a team scores or doesn't score. "The line of scrimmage moves when the offensive lineman move, or so it appears, so it is like really hard for some of us older guys to adjust and make the right call," an unnamed official told reporters gathered outside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Another official from the Packers vs. Falcon game was caught on camera mistaking a statue of a Mercedes-Benz for a taxi.
The NFL is also quiet about the Wonderlic scores of their officials. They denied rumors that the average Wonderlic score of an NFL official is nine.
The low Wonderlic score might explain why a crew of NFL would miss a clear helmet-to-helmet hit or have a hard time explaining why they threw flags when there weren't any clear penalties.
