In preparation for the upcoming game, Torbert’s crew is set to include umpire Mike Morton, down judge Max Causey, line judge Mark Stewart, field judge Mearl Robinson, side judge Boris Cheek, back judge Jonah Monroe, and replay official Kevin Brown. Noteworthy among this lineup is Cheek’s recent milestone achievement, surpassing referee Walt Coleman for officiating the most games in NFL history, as reported by Football Zebras.
Adding to the crew’s depth of experience is Morton, a former NFL linebacker who graced the field for six different teams during his seven-season career. Notably, Morton was a key player in the Super Bowl-winning St. Louis Rams team in Super Bowl XXXVI. His dual role as a player and now an official sets him apart, joining the elite ranks of individuals who have both competed in and officiated a Super Bowl, a feat previously achieved by umpire Terry Killens during last year’s Super Bowl LVIII crew in Las Vegas.
The lineup for the upcoming game is a testament to the diverse backgrounds and expertise that each official brings to the field, ensuring a smooth and fair gameplay experience for both teams. As the anticipation builds for the game, fans can rest assured that Torbert’s crew is primed and ready to uphold the integrity of the sport and make critical calls with precision and impartiality.
