As was illustrated anew in Seattle’s win over Detroit Saturday, officiating often becomes a big storyline along the way.
Which is why it may be helpful to know how the officials are ahead of time.
FootballZebras.com has the details on the officials for Saturday’s Seattle-Atlanta divisional playoff game, with the crew headed up by Gene Steratore. It’s worth remembering that the crews this time of year are “all-star” units made up of the officials that have graded out the best during the regular season.
That means the crews are not the same as they were during the regular season, and some have questioned if it’s worth breaking up the continuity of the crews.
