I remember the last time they used replacements. It wasn’t always pretty. More via The Washington Post.

The NFL has devised a temporary five-week schedule for using replacement officials.

A person familiar with the schedule told The Associated Press on Monday that the setup is done through Week 5 of the regular season. The regular officials are locked out and replacements worked the preseason and the first week of the regular season.
