NFL Suspends Entire Officiating Crew Led by Adrian Hill After Controversial Finish in Eagles

October 7, 2025 – Philadelphia, PA

The NFL has officially suspended referee Adrian Hill and his entire officiating crew following the highly controversial ending to Sunday’s Eagles–Broncos matchup — a game that has since ignited national outrage and sparked widespread debate over officiating integrity.

According to league sources and officiating assignment data from Football Zebras, the suspended crew consisted of:

Referee: Adrian Hill (#81)
Umpire: Bryan Neale (#92)
Down Judge: Patrick Holt (#23)
Line Judge: Mark Steinkerchner (#64)
Field Judge: Brad Rogers (#128)
Side Judge: Eugene Hall (#99)
Back Judge: Greg Steed (#12)
Replay Official: Dan South

The decision follows mounting scrutiny over multiple missed and overturned calls that directly influenced the outcome of the game.

The most heated moment came late in the fourth quarter, when an intentional grounding flag against Jalen Hurts was overturned after review, allowing the Broncos to maintain momentum and run down the clock. Moments later, in what fans called

“the robbery of the season,” Dallas Goedert was clearly pulled down by cornerback Quinton Skinner at the goal line — but no flag was thrown for pass interference.

Refs made sure to switch a grounding call twice on the broncos last drive & throw an unnecessary roughness flag on a would be stop on 3rd down but yea let’s ignore the blatant PI which would but the ball on the 6 yard line with time for 2-3 plays 🖕🏼

The Eagles were denied a final opportunity to score, and Denver escaped with a 27–24 victory. The broadcast replay showed Goedert’s jersey being visibly grabbed, fueling fury among players, coaches, and fans alike.

Social media erupted within minutes. The phrase “Eagles got robbed” trended at #1 on X (formerly Twitter), with over 2 million posts in 24 hours. Several analysts, including former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, called for an official review of the officiating crew’s conduct.

One viral post summarized the fan sentiment:

“If this isn’t rigging, what is? The refs changed the outcome of the game — plain and simple.”

NFL Senior VP of Officiating Walt Anderson confirmed in a brief statement that the league found

“a series of critical officiating errors that failed to meet professional standards.”

The suspension is immediate and indefinite pending further investigation — marking one of the rare occasions in modern NFL history where an entire officiating crew has been disciplined following a single game.

For Eagles fans, the suspension offers little comfort. The damage, as many see it, has already been done — a win stolen, a legacy questioned, and the integrity of the league once again under fire.

Man Arrested for Terroristic Threat at Charlie Kirk Vigil Was Same Individual Who Broke Into Dak Prescott’s Home Last Year

San Antonio, TX – Police have confirmed that 19-year-old Xaelyn Dunbar, arrested this week for making a terroristic threat against a Charlie Kirk vigil, is the same man who broke into Dak Prescott’s home in 2024.

Authorities say Dunbar was taken into custody after allegedly posting on social media that he intended to ram his truck into the event at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The vigil drew more than 1,000 people.

Dunbar now faces felony charges of making a terroristic threat. Police stressed that quick intervention likely prevented a major tragedy. Investigators are reviewing his online activity to determine whether he acted alone or had wider motivations.

The revelation hit NFL fans hard because Dunbar already made headlines last year. In September 2024, the teenager was arrested in Dallas after unlawfully entering the home of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. The case drew national attention.

At that time, Prescott surprisingly asked the court for leniency. He emphasized that the young man needed rehabilitation, not prison. Judges followed his request, sentencing Dunbar to community supervision instead of handing down jail time.

The decision was divisive. Some praised Prescott’s compassion, but others warned it could enable future harm. Now, with Dunbar facing allegations tied to a potential mass attack, critics argue that leniency may have opened the door to repeat danger.

Prescott has not commented publicly since Dunbar’s latest arrest. Sources close to the quarterback describe him as “deeply troubled,” torn between his instinct for forgiveness and the devastating realization that mercy may not have prevented escalation.

Cowboys fans reacted strongly online. Some defended Prescott’s choice, while others said star athletes shouldn’t weigh in on sentencing. “Dak wanted to help, but this shows compassion isn’t always enough,” one fan posted.

Meanwhile, Texas authorities said immediate police response likely saved lives. Security at large gatherings is expected to increase in the coming weeks as investigators dig deeper into Dunbar’s background and potential extremist connections.

This case intertwines sports, celebrity, and politics. A man once spared jail after breaking into an NFL superstar’s home is again in the headlines — this time with far more dangerous implications.
