It's "CM" in the circle....
The "CM" patch on the hats is in tribute to former referee Carl Madsen, who passed away after working Week 7's Kansas City Chiefs-Tennessee Titans game. Police say that Madsen died as he was driving home from the game in Nashville, Tenn.
Madsen was 71-years-old.
"Carl Madsen was an NFL officiating fixture for more than two decades, first as a highly respected on-field official before transitioning to a replay role beginning in 2009," NFL senior VP of officiating training and development Walt Anderson said in a statement, via NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "A terrific friend and colleague, Carl's love of football and dedication to officiating was ever-present, as he generously shared his time to mentor young officials at clinics across the country. A veteran of the Air Force, Carl had a tremendous spirit and will be greatly missed."
Madsen had served as an on-field referee from 1997 until 2008. Beginning in 2009, Madsen had been working as a replay official.
