The referees have been in the news this week – and here’s who the officiating crew are who will work on Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. Including a former Super Bowl winner no less.
In case you’re interested, the referees are an all-star team and are chosen on the basis of their performances throughout the season.
A group of former officials and coaches evaluate the referees on every call they make on every play throughout the season and give them a grade.
