The NFL has made its decisions on the officiating crews for “Super Wild Card Weekend”, the opening round of the 2022-23 postseason.

Per Cameron Filipe of Football Zebras , Alex Kemp and his crew will officiate the Seattle Seahawks-San Francisco 49ers game on Saturday at Levi’s Stadium. The second Saturday game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars will be called by Shawn Smith and his crew.

Brad Allen and his group will officiate the Buffalo Bills- Miami Dolphins game at Highmark Stadium. The New York Giants-Minnesota Vikings game will be officiated by Adrian Hill, while Clay Martin and his crew will be on the field for the Sunday night game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals.

Craig Wrolstad and his crew will officiate the Dallas Cowboys-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game at Raymond James Stadium on Monday Night.

One may notice that Jerome Boger and his crew has not been assigned to Super Wild Card Weekend. Last year, Boger’s crew was taken off of officiating games for the remainder of the postseason due to several controversial mistakes in the Las Vegas Raiders -Bengals Wild Card Round Game.
