NFL Referee Jerome Boger is a living legend among NFL fans for his calls on the field. He’s also a Black historymaker, blazing trails for others to follow.

For Black History Month, NFL Vets Takeo Spikes and Tutan Reyes spoke with Boger to highlight his 17-year NFL officiating career—which includes Boger leading the first all-Black officiating crew in NFL history.

Boger also shared his thoughts on:

• How his wife helped jumpstart his NFL officiating career
• Being only the second Black official to referee a Super Bowl
• Dealing with the pressure of making the right calls
• Getting caught in that scramble by QB Lamar Jackson
• His most memorable games, moments and so much more
