Sunday, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars take the field, their game will be officiated by Walt Anderson and his crew. No other team of referees has thrown more flags than Anderson’s sweltering 214, of which 182 have been accepted for a total of 1568 yards.
Anderson’s squad also leads the league in 31 called pass interference penalties, but finally takes a step down from the leading ranks and sits in the second position with 67 holding calls to Shawn Hochuli’s 75. Both the Bucs and the Jaguars will have their work cut out for them as the two round out the fourth and fifth most penalized teams in the league, respectively. The Buccaneers with nine defensive pass interference calls sit only behind the Baltimore Ravens’ 10 for the most calls.
It will be a tightly called game as par for the course for Anderson’s team, so the Buccaneers will really need to take full advantage of their key match-ups.
