NFL officials are usually fairly anonymous unless they make a bad call or do something else to get noticed. Unfortunately for James Coleman, plenty of people noticed him during Monday Night Football and it wasn’t from a bad call.
NFL official tries to backpedal out of the way, instead trips and falls as ball is snapped
Coleman was just trying to get out of the way quickly so the Texans could run their play. He tried to move a little too quickly, however, and instead had to watch the play from his backside. At least he’s only an official and not a professional athlete like Kelly Olynyk, who also struggles to run backward.
