“Sarah Thomas has made history again,” said NFL executive vice-president Troy Vincent.

“Her elite performance and commitment to excellence has earned her the right to officiate the Super Bowl. Congratulations to Sarah on this well-deserved honor.”

The teams to face off in the game will be determined this Sunday after each NFC and AFC conference championships between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. the Green Bay Packers, and the Buffalo Bills vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.
