Packers-Broncos Matchup: Referee's Unique Penalty Split

In the upcoming matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Denver Broncos, referee Brad Rogers will officiate the game. Notably, Rogers' crew has the largest penalty flag split between home and away teams in the NFL.

Rogers is averaging 7.27 flags per game on away teams, while only averaging 5.82 on home teams, marking a difference of 1.45 penalties per game more for the away team. This trend is contrary to the league-wide perception that home teams typically receive more flags.

In the Packers' previous game officiated by Rogers, against the Washington Commanders in Week 2, they benefited from favorable calls. Since then, Rogers' crew has thrown 54 flags on home teams and 75 on away teams, further emphasizing the disparity.

Packers fans should be prepared for the possibility of fewer calls during the game against the Broncos, especially considering that Rogers' crew recently officiated a game where the away team was flagged 13 times.
