Head Official: Shawn Hochuli. He is a financial advisor with a degree from Claremont. This is his 12th season as a head official. His father Ed was also a head official and was known mostly for having some serious biceps. The last time he called a Steelers’ game was December of last year when the Steelers beat the Bengals in Cincy. His crew called 20 penalties that day. His crew is currently fourth in the amount of flags thrown with 108. The home team is currently averaging about two less penalties per game under Hochuli’s watch than is the road team.

* in the 21-day window designated to return from Injured Reserve
Injury Notes: With Calvin Austin III returning, the loss of Miller shouldn’t hurt too much… Frazier is the guy to keep an eye as he’s been bothered by the calf all week… I’m told most of the Packers listed as questionable should play on Sunday Night.
