Your Super Bowl 2025 referee for Super Bowl 59 is Ron Torbert, a seasoned veteran who has worked an NFL title game before — he was the referee for the Bengals and Rams Super Bowl a few years ago.

The NFL's referees for Super Bowl 59 wasted no time making a controversial call, that's for sure. There was a ton of debate on social media about the NFL's officiating coming into tonight's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

All of it adds up to a story the public can’t seem to get enough of, and the NFL just wants to go away. Are the Eagles playing the Chiefs AND the officials Sunday?

A deep-ball connection between Jalen Hurts and receiver A.J. Brown ended up not being a big play for the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Super Bowl 59 kicks off on Sunday, Feb. 9 between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. These two teams met in this game just two years ago, and a defensive holding call in the fourth quarter helped set up a game-winning Chiefs field goal that gave them a 38-35 victory.

Officials flagged Brown for offensive pass interference, negating the first down and forcing the Eagles to punt on fourth-and-12. It was a dicey call, at best

Facing 4th-and-2 at the 50-yard line on the opening possession of Super Bowl LIX, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts hit wide receiver A.J. Brown with a 28-yard completion, or so he thought.

Every Super Bowl has its controversial calls. While the officials don't want to be the deciding factor of the game, fans of the Kansas City Chiefs or Philadelphia Eagles will see their hand in the outcome.
