Crew chief Shawn Hochuli had just about enough of the crowd during Saturday’s game in Kansas City.

Hochuli was working the Kansas City Chiefs-Jacksonville Jaguars divisional playoff game and had a hilarious moment before announcing a roughing the passer penalty in the second quarter. The veteran ref stepped up to make the call but was first heard saying, “Everybody shut up” on his hot mic.

Take a listen.

Saturday’s game was played at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, which has a capacity of over 72,000. Fans of the Chiefs are also known for their raucous dedication.

As for Hochuli, a nine-year veteran as well as the son of famed referee Ed Hochuli, he is earning a reputation of his own for laying down the law no matter who he is dealing with.
