NFL referee will call two games in the same day for the first time ever after FAA's ground stop caused scheduling chaos

The NFL is adjusting its referee assignments following chaos caused by the FAA's nationwide ground stop, which disrupted travel across the American airline industry. As a result of the scheduling disruption, an NFL referee will be required to officiate two games in the same day, marking a first in league history. The move is intended to prevent the NFL from being shorthanded on officiating staff.
