The NFL has assigned veteran referee Ron Torbert and his crew to Week 1’s New Orleans Saints home opener with the Tennessee Titans, per Football Zebras. The Saints are 6-3 in games Torbert has worked since being promoted to referee back in 2014, but their last game with Torbert on the field was a too-close win over the Los Angeles Rams, 27-20. Tennessee is 4-3 with Torbert in the game during the same stretch and won their last game with him on hand 19-10 against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts.
