Also, does anyone have any thoughts as to who among the 17 referees may have officiated his last NFL game this year?

The long pass play to Chad Johnson, the BJ got beat to the GL so I wonder if he got hurt or tweaked something. Colemen then slid into the BJ position from what I could see. It was odd having two white hats on the field, especially one under the uprights.

I will ask someone that was out there and post what I find out.
