The NFL referee assignments for Wild Card Weekend have been released. There is a mix of experience when it comes to the referees taking charge of the six NFL playoff games this week. Which NFL refs have earned themselves postseason assignments this year, and who joins them on their crew this week?
NFL Referee Assignments for Wild Card Weekend
During the playoffs, officials from the NFL’s officiating roster are reassigned from their regular-season crews. Therefore, the six crews on the field this week will look a little different from what we have seen all year.
