Bill Vinovich, the Saints-Rams no-call referee, is the NFL's best official, ESPN says
Bill Vinovich, the head official in the controversial Saints-Rams NFC championship game, is the crew chief that most "inspires confidence that he knows what he's doing," according to ESPN NFL writer Kevin Seifert.
Seifert ranked Vinovich first in his list of top 10 referees in the league, part of a preview list by ESPN leading up to the start of the season. "His crews usually average the fewest penalties per game in the league, producing crisp games with maximum focus on players and coaches," Seifert said in his reasoning. ![]() Last season, Vinovich's crew failed to flag a pass interference or roughness penalty against Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman for his helmet-to-helmet hit on receiver Tommylee Lewis well before a pass arrived. The no-call came at a crucial point in the game against the New Orleans Saints. The Rams won and advanced to the Super Bowl. more on NOLA | |
