The NFL today announced Bill Vinovich will referee Super Bowl LIV in Miami next month. The league also announced who will comprise the other seven members of the officiating team.

Saints fans know Vinovich from the infamous No-Call NFC Championship game last season. With 1:49 remaining in the tied game, officials missed a blatant pass interference and helmet-to-helmet hit committed by Los Angeles Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman that would have given the Saints first-and-goal. With one timeout remaining for the Rams, the Saints could have run the clock down to less than :30 before kicking the go-ahead field goal.

None of the other members of that officiating team are part of the Super Bowl LIV crew.
