Craig Wrolstad’s crew blew so many calls during Lions-Rams, and here they all are!

The NFL goes through a process during the regular season in which all officials are graded for their performances, and then the “best” officials are given playoff assignments, with refereed working with “all-star” crews. Given the state of officiating in the NFL this season, you should expect that not every playoff-ready official is really up on things.

This was certainly the case for referee Craig Wrolstad, who was given the wild-card game between the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Rams that ended in a 24-23 win for the Lions. And on that vaunted stage, Wrolstad and his bunch put together one of the most horribly-officiated games of the 2023 season — which says a lot.

There’s no need to present any additional commentary here; the embarrassments are enough to be simply shown.
