Referee Shawn Hochuli stuns viewers by making penalty call in German
NFL referee Shawn Hochuli clearly did his homework leading up to Sunday’s game between the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers in Germany.
Hochuli was the head referee for the latest installment of the NFL International series, which was held at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. After the Panthers committed a false start penalty late in the first quarter, Hochuli delivered the call in German. The fans in attendance loved it and the viewers watching at home were stunned.

You know Hochuli practiced that one, and he wasn’t about the let the opportunity pass.
Hochuli has had some moments during games where he went viral and wished he hadn’t, but he obviously prepared for that one.
