The Super Bowl 50 referee crew is official. Here is a rundown of each official, their experience, and what each job entails.
The Carolina Panthers head west next week to face the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50, and the NFL has formally announced the referees for the game. The lead official will be Clete Blakeman. Pro Football Reference does strong work putting together a rundown of referee stats and history.
Blakeman has officiated five playoff games, but this is his first Super Bowl appearance. He was an alternate for Super Bowl 48 when the Broncos were last in the Super Bowl.
