Who is the referee for Ravens vs Chiefs game?
On Monday, NFL Operations confirmed that Shawn Smith and his crew will referee the Chiefs-Ravens AFC Championship game. Smith joined the NFL as an umpire in the 2015 season. He was promoted to referee in 2018 and later elevated to head referee in 2022.
He has officiated two Chiefs games this season, both of which ended in defeat for Andy Reid's team. He was in charge when Kansas City suffered a shock 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3 and during their 21-17 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11.
