Football Zebras has confirmed the officiating crews for the Divisional Playoffs. Officials are listed with their uniform number, years of NFL experience (including this season), the crew each official worked with in the regular season (by the referee’s name), college, and outside occupation.

All times are Eastern.

Three alternates are assigned to each game: generally, one is designated for the offensive backfield (in recent seasons, this is typically a referee, but can be an umpire), one is on the line of scrimmage (down judge or line judge), and one is a deep position (side judge, field judge, or back judge). When alternates are listed, their position during the regular season is also given. The prior playoff experience that is listed for the crew chief includes his service as an NFL official, including as referee and any other crew position (excluding alternate assignments).

Down judge Sarah Thomas received her first on-field postseason assignment, making her the first woman to do so. Replay official Terri Valenti is also assigned to a divisional game.

Also of note, the eventual Super Bowl officials are on the field for this weekend’s games, but not all are from the same crew. Walt Coleman appears to be ending his 30-year career on the sideline, assigned as an alternate this week. He is the only official in NFL history to have worked for 30 seasons and not received a title game assignment.
