BALTIMORE (AP) — Gene Steratore’s officiating crew was the first to work an NFL game since the league ended its lockout and reached a tentative contract agreement with the referees’ union. M&T Bank Stadium erupted in cheers last night after Steratore brought the captains of the Browns and Ravens together for the coin toss, turned on his microphone and said, “Good evening men. It’s good to be back.” Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized to the fans yesterday for putting them through the work stoppage, but he also played down how much the Green Bay-Seattle game played into the final agreement.
