Grades:
R 52 Bill Vinovich: 3.8 - smooth as silk. Iffy grounding call but he did a great job otherwise. U 77 Terry Killens: 3.95 - He was everywhere tonight. Quickly becoming the model umpire in the NFL. DJ 106 Patrick Holt: 4.0 - Call of the game. Outstanding game and spots. LJ 9 Mark Perlman: 3.9 - Great game. Called the HCT and can retire in triumph. FJ 97 Tom Hill: 3.95 - An outstanding final game. Retire in triumph. SJ 56 Allen Baynes: 3.95 - Good personal foul call in the first half. Great judgement calls in the secondary. BJ 88 Brad Freeman: 3.95 - See Baynes.
Crew: 3.92
In a game where the officials were the best team on the field for long stretches of the game, the officials had a pretty quiet game overall.
Bill Vinovich is smooth as silk and he did a good job explaining the revised post-season overtime rules. His crew was not afraid to throw the flag in overtime. They stepped up and made the calls that needed to be called when needed.
Patrick Holt has the call of the game, with that Kyle Juszczyk sideline catch. Umpire Terry Killens was playing with the Tennessee Titans when they came up one yard short. He can jog off the field tonight in triumph as he called a great game.
Congratulations to Mark Perlman and Tom Hill for calling an instant classic for their retirement game.
Everyone will point to a call they don't like, but there were no calls that made me pull the covers over my head.
The officiating crew can celebrate their efforts tonight. Congratulations!

Despite some hiccups in the regular season, I thought this was among the best officiated playoffs in a long time. There were a couple of things that stood out to me. First, the NFL seemed more willing to completely deny officials even alternate assignments than in years past. Second, not necessarily going 12 deep at positions kept the quality on the field higher. Finally, keeping crews together as much as possible made things operate smoother.

The whole crew deserves kudos for a great game. Every one of them showed last night why they were picked for the biggest game of the year. I am 100% fine with the grounding call.
