Broncos Referee Suffers Broken Bone In 1st Quarter
DENVER (AP) - Line judge Gary Arthur suffered a broken collarbone after being hit from behind by a player who was racing down the field to cover a punt during the first quarter in Denver.
Arthur stayed down for several minutes as he was attended to by the Denver Broncos training staff. Arthur was helped to the cart and driven from the field.
Before he left through the tunnel, Arthur tipped his cap to the crowd.
On the CBS broadcast, former official Mike Carey said crews are trained to work with six officials in case something like this happens.
