It will be an NFC East showdown in the NFC championship on Sunday in Philadelphia as the Eagles play host to the Washington Commanders with a spot in Super Bowl 59 on the line.

We now know who will be on the call for that one as the NFL has assigned Shawn Hochuli as the head referee for the game. Hochuli's father, Ed Hochuli, was an NFL official from 1990 until 2017.

Joining Hochuli on the crew as the umpire will be former NFL player Mike Morton, who is calling the game in his first eligible season to officiate a conference championship game.

If history holds, it's an assignment that seems to favor the Eagles. Philadelphia is 6-1 in games that Hochuli is assigned, while the Commanders are just 1-3, per Section215.
