NFL referees will be back on the field Thursday night. No more replacements.

As of Midnight last night, the NFL and the referees finally reached an 8 year deal.

Putting an end to the 3 month lockout.

The deal adds a pay bump from $150,000 a year last year to $173,000  next year.

The pay will rise to $205,000 by 2019.

The agreement will also allow the NFL to hire some officials on a year-round basis.

Both sides were facing pressure to make deal after Monday night's game between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.

It ended on a disputed Hail Mary touchdown catch that appeared to be an interception by Green Bay.
