The NFL announced on Monday the referee assignments for each of the four divisional round matchups next weekend. At Soldier Field, it’ll be Shawn Hochuli and his crew officiating the game for the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears.
Carl Cheffers, John Hussey and Shawn Smith are the other referees for the divisional round.

This is the ninth time Hochuli has been the referee for a Rams game since he took on that position in 2018. The Rams are 5-3 in their eight games with Hochuli as the ref. The most recent game came in 2024 when they beat the Raiders, 20-15.
According to Football Zebras, this is Hochuli’s 10th postseason game and his ninth in the divisional round. He’s also been an official for a conference championship game but never the Super Bowl.
The NFL will announce the time of each divisional round game on Monday night, but we know the Rams and Bears will be one of the two games on Sunday, kicking off at either 3 or 6:30 p.m. ET.
