The head referee for Super Bowl LVIII will be Bill Vinovich.
Why is that factoid relevant for the New Orleans Saints? They will not be playing.
Vinovich was an official involved in the controversial 2019 NFC Championship game. The infamous 'no call' on Nickell Robey-Coleman proved extremely costly for the Saints as they lost 26-23 to the Los Angeles Rams.
