The seven NFL officials who will be on the field during the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers probably would prefer it if no one realizes they are there in Las Vegas on Sunday.
San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York was asked the other day what comes to mind when he thinks back to his team s Super Bowl loss to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs four years ago, and he quipped: "I mean, I remember Nick Bosa getting held on third-and-long and that not getting called."
One of the biggest fears when it comes to the biggest sport’s biggest games is that a high-profile officiating mistake will play a role in the result. So the seven on-field officials will get plenty of screen time when the Kansas City Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers in the big game Sunday in Las Vegas. The referee in charge of the crew in black-and-white unforms will be Bill Vinovich. He was also the referee when the Chiefs beat the 49ers in the Super Bowl four years ago — and when the Rams beat the Saints in the 2019 NFC championship game after an infamous missed call.
