R: Bill Vinovich
U: Scott Walker
DJ: Dale Keller

Head official Bill Vinovich joined the NFL officiating crew in 2001 and was promoted to head official in 2004 when Ron Blum stepped down from the position.

Of course, no such role exists but he brought order back to the snowy stadium with his quick thinking.
