The Dez Bryant non-catch. The index card measurement. And now Super Bowl LII for Gene Steratore.
The NFL has announced that the 54-year-old referee will get the assignment for the February 4 contest at U.S. Bank Stadium Minneapolis. Steratore will be quite familiar with the location: He just finished refereeing the Minnesota Vikings’ walk-off win over the New Orleans Saints on January 14.
Steratore, who has been refereeing NFL games since 2003 as well as NCAA basketball games since 1995, has been at the center of a couple of controversial calls over the past few seasons, most notably the Dez Bryant no catch against the Green Bay Packers in the 2015 playoffs.
