The rest of Cheffers’ crew in Arizona will be made up of umpire Roy Ellison, down judge Jerod Phillips, line judge Jeff Bergman, field judge John Jenkins, side judge Eugene Hall, back judge Dino Paganelli, and replay official Mark Butterworth.
Ellison, Bergman, Hall, and Paganelli have also worked two other Super Bowls. Phillips, Jenkins, and Butterworth will be working in the Super Bowl for the first time.
Jenkins and Paganelli also worked the Bills game with Cheffers
Thanks for the update. The concern for the Bills game was Cheffers' rather pronounced tendency of calls favoring the home team. That will not come into effect for the Super Bowl. I think the good job the Cheffers team did for the Bengals-Bills game probably looked good to the league. Of course, Kansas City Chiefs fans despise the guy, so they are probably wondering how Cheffers was given the Super Bowl assignment.
