The Wild Card and Divisional Rounds are officiated by the top 8 crews in the NFL. This year, those crews are: McAulay, Triplette, W. Anderson, Hochuli, M. Carey, Boger, Austin and Parry.

The top 3 officials at each position will work the Conference Championship Games and the Super Bowl. For those who work the Super Bowl, they will officiate in one of the first 2 rounds if they were on one of the top 8 crews. It's also possible they could be an alternate in the first 2 rounds. It's also possible they may not work at all until the Super Bowl.

The officials removed from their crews in the first 2 rounds are most likely to be working in the Conference Championship games.

For officials that are remove from their crews, high rated other officials from crews who did not make the playoffs will fill in for their spot. Other considerations are made such as officials who have had a good year but have not worked a playoff game in a while. They may be selected to fill an open spot.

The Pro Bowl is a group of officials rated high that did not work in the playoffs. Sometimes considerations are made to officials who may be retiring at season's end.
