Hey, I keep seeing fan-site reports of 3 referees being suddenly and quietly fired by the NFL. For alleged bribery.
But I'm not seeing it in the news, and not in any standard sports news channels. There's a mention in the Kelce brothers' podcast. But keeping this kind of thing out of the media "for the good of the game" would be a very NFL move.
Here's some text I found on a fan site. I'm not comfortable linking it, because it might just be pure BS... I've seen similar claims from Green Bay and Buffalo fan sites.
Hmmm...

In a shocking and unprecedented move, the NFL recently fired three referees who officiated the game between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams, following their involvement in what is being described as the largest bribery scheme in NFL history. The league’s aππουncement revealed that the referees had received bribes to influence the outcome of the game, specifically to sabotage the Buffalo Bills’ chances of advancing to the Super Bowl. This scandal has sent shockwaves through the NFL community, with fans, particularly those of the Buffalo Bills, expressing their anger and demanding that the game be replayed.
The three referees involved in the scandal-John Hussey, Bill Vinovich, and Jerome Boger-were all well-known figures within the NFL officiating ranks, and their involvement in the bribery scheme has raised serious questions about the integrity of the sport. According to the NFL’s investigation, these officials were paid by individuals associated with the Los Angeles Rams, with the goal of ensuring a victory for the Rams in a key matchup that ultimately contributed to the Bills’ elimination from playoff contention. The scheme allegedly involved manipulating calls during critical moments of the game, including questionable penalties and missed calls that were aimed at hindering the Bills’ chances of securing a win.​
