--Hugo Cruz's time as an NFL official has come to a close. The league fired Cruz, who had served as a down judge for performance reasons and was not meeting the standard over a sustained period of time according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The NFL Referees Association plans to file a grievance on behalf of Cruz over his dismissal.Cruz had been with the league since 2015, but quickly became known in recent weeks as the official who missed a blatant false start late in the second quarter in Week 6's game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Cleveland Browns. Chargers left tackle Russell Okung dropped back to block before the snap and should have been flagged. Browns defensive end Myles Garrett even pulled up in apparent anticipation of a flag, pointing to Okung while looking to an official. The play was not blown dead and Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tyrell Williams en route to a 38-14 win.
