No referee in the NFL throws more flags on the away team, which in this case would be the Packers, relative to the home team than Rogers\u2019 crew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Right now, Rogers is averaging 7.27 flags per game on the away team, which would rank fourth-most among crews in 2025. At the same time, though, his crew only flags home teams 5.82 times a game, the second-lowest rate in the NFL. On average, the away team gets flagged 1.45 plays more in Rogers games. That bucks the league-wide trend, as home teams actually get flagged more, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Packers previously played a Rogers game, his first of the year, in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Green Bay actually benefited in the penalty department in that game. Since that matchup, Rogers\u2019 crew has thrown 54 flags on home teams and 75 on away teams, a difference of 2.1 penalties per game more for the away team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So don\u2019t expect to get a lot of calls on Sunday, Packers fans. Mind you, Rogers\u2019 crew is coming off a Titans-Jaguars game where the away team was flagged 13 times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The referee for the Green Bay Packers\u2019 matchup against the Denver Broncos will be Brad Rogers, who holds&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":437411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[19629,1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-437410","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-green-bay-packers-news","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115694268865224369","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
