A trip to Mexico City for a prime-time matchup between the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans appears to have provided a much needed vacation of sorts for one NFL officiating crew.
At a time when referees are subject to constant scrutiny, the majority of fans around the league no doubt consider them more enemies than allies.
If video of one member posing for selfies can be taken as any indication, it's safe to assume the game's referees received a far warmer welcome Monday night than they would have north of the border.
