Boger has also served as a referee in
Conference USA,
Arena Football League, and
NFL Europe Boger served as referee for a game between the
Dallas Cowboys and
Tennessee Titans during the season. In the third quarter of the game, Titans' defensive lineman
Albert Haynesworth was ejected for stomping on the head of Cowboys offensive lineman
Andre Gurode. Haynesworth received a five-game suspension as a result of the incident, the longest suspension for an on-field incident in NFL history at the time. Boger also served as referee in 2006 in a
Monday Night game where the
Chicago Bears defeated the
Arizona Cardinals in one of the greatest comebacks in league history. . Boger was chosen to be the referee of
Super Bowl XLVII, held at the
Mercedes-Benz Superdome in
New Orleans on February 3, 2013, only the second African-American to do so behind
Mike Carey five years earlier. This caused several other NFL officials to question the leagues' officiating department's grading process, claiming that all of Boger's downgrades during the season were reversed. He was also the alternate referee of
Super Bowl XLV, which was held on February 6, 2011, in
Arlington, Texas.
Retirement On March 2, 2023, Boger announced his retirement from officiating in the
NFL. ==References==
