XFL admits officiating error and reassigns the game supervisor

The XFL has distinguished itself through the first five weeks of its season as being a quality football product with some wrinkles the NFL should definitely pay some mind. On Saturday, the XFL raised that bar to a new level.

A controversial blown call at the end of the game between the Seattle Dragons and Houston Roughnecks brought forth instant accountability. How about disciplinary action for the person in charge of a game marred by bad officiating? Yeah, the XFL did that in the immediate aftermath of the ending.

They even broke out exactly what went wrong in an official release before the end of the day.

Imagine going back in Browns time to Oakland, where the officials re-spotted the ball with zero evidence to support it back in 2018. That directly cost the team a victory. Good job by the XFL to put some blood on those pitchforks.
