The NFL's championship weekend will be officiated by two experienced referees whose regular-season tendencies put them at the opposite ends of the penalty spectrum.
Terry McAulay, who will work the AFC Championship Game, called the league's second-highest number of fouls per game in 2016, according to ESPN Stats & Information data. Bill Vinovich, who has the NFC Championship Game, called the fewest.
Between the two of them, McAulay and Vinovich have worked four Super Bowls and a total of 20 postseason games since the start of the 2001 season. Neither will officiate Super Bowl LI -- that honor will go to Carl Cheffers, it was reported this week -- but both remain in high NFL regard.
