Carl Cheffers leads his crew on the Thursday night game in Tampa between the Patriots and Buccaneers. The last time Cheffers officiated a Patriots game was against a different NFC South foe in Super Bowl LI. Clete Blakeman, Tony Corrente, and Ed Hochuli all have the week off, since Atlanta, Denver, New Orleans, and Washington have a bye.
