CFL officials allowed more than a minute of time to run off between plays in Toronto’s Week 15 win over Hamilton.

In the fourth quarter as on-field referees deliberated a fumble call, more than 60 seconds ticked by that were not added back on. Those responsible suffered consequences according to CBC reporter Malcolm Kelly.

#cfl source says the league DID drop over a minute from the 4th quarter of #ticats #argos last week. Between play 133-134. — Malcolm Kelly (@sportsnag) October 5, 2017

I'm told the officials involved had their weekly ratings downgraded. This affects chances at playoff assignments. #ticats #argos #cfl — Malcolm Kelly (@sportsnag) October 5, 2017

Post-season hopes just got smaller for some striped men like some franchises around the league.
