Who are the referees for Jets vs Patriots? All about NFL Week 3 TNF game officials

The New England Patriots will take on the New York Jets on the road on Thursday night in their lone primetime game of the 2024 season.

It is even more important for the Patriots to win in Week 3 because it is their first game of the season against a divisional rival. The game will be New England's opportunity to spoil the Jets' plans to win the division and advance to the Super Bowl.

Who are the referees for the New York Jets vs New England Patriots Thursday night game?

The following crew will officiate tonight's Week 3 NFL game between the Jets and Patriots:

Head Referee: John Hussey

Umpire: Tony Michalek

Down Judge: Max Causey

Line Judge: Carl Johnson

Field Judge: Anthony Flemming

Side Judge: Allen Baynes

Back Judge: Matt Edwards

Replay Official: Andrew Lambert

Replay Assistant: Sebrina Brunson

John Hussey will serve as crew chief for the Thursday Night Football game officiating team. Hussey, an NFL official for 23 seasons, started as a line judge in 2002.

After Bill Leavy retired in 2015, Hussey advanced to his present role as referee crew chief; this season marks his tenth working in that capacity. The New England Patriots game against the New York Jets will mark his 150th game as a referee tonight.

This game will be John Hussey's first as the head referee for the Patriots in two years. He last officiated the team's game in September 2022, when the Miami Dolphins defeated New England at Gillette Stadium. The supporters of the Patriots will be hoping for a different outcome when they play the Jets this evening.

John Hussey and his team officiated Week 2's matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams, where the Cardinals triumphed impressively, 41-10.
