Who are the referees assigned for Seahawks vs. 49ers? Officials for Week 6 TNF game explored

The San Francisco 49ers will play on the road against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field in this week's Thursday Night Football.

Seattle, who started the season with three straight wins, must defeat one of its fiercest rivals today to remain one of the best teams in the NFC after suffering back-to-back losses.

HC Kyle Shanahan and his players, who have already lost to the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams this season, will also be eager to get their first divisional victory this campaign.

Who are the referees for the Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers game on TNF?

The opening NFL Week 6 matchup between the 49ers and Seahawks will be officiated by the following officials:

Head Referee: Craig Wrolstad

Umpire: Steve Woods

Down Judge: Danny Short

Line Judge: Brett Bergman

Field Judge: Jeff Shears

Side Judge: Frank Steratore

Back Judge: Rich Martinez

Replay Official: Gavin Anderson

Replay Assistant: Ken Hall

Head referee Craig Wrolstad, who served as a field judge in Super Bowl 47 in 2013, will be the crew chief for the Seahawks vs. Niners game in Week 6.

Wrolstad was promoted to referee after Ron Winter and Scott Green retired before the 2014 NFL season, and he has officiated numerous high-stakes games ever since.

Seahawks supporters will recall Wrolstad as the focal point of a controversial game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams in the 2022 season.

The Seahawks secured their ticket to the postseason at the expense of the Detroit Lions by beating Los Angeles in overtime in that Week 18 game. The bulk of the overlooked and incorrect decisions in that 2022 regular season finale game went in favor of the Seahawks.

Wrolstad was assigned to officiate the Raiders' away game against the Broncos in Week 5, a game Denver won 34-18.

Seahawks vs 49ers game details

The Seattle Seahawks will need to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6 to maintain their first place in the NFC West, as they have lost their last two games in a row in Weeks 4 and 5. That being said, Seattle faces a challenging assignment because it has fallen short against San Francisco in five straight games since 2022.

The Seahawks' last win over the Niners came in December 2021, when they registered an impressive 30-23 victory. That did not, however, prevent Seattle from finishing bottom in the NFC West and missing the postseason, as the other teams in the division advanced to the playoffs.

Although the Niners (2-3) have not played well this season, a victory over the Seahawks in Seattle on Thursday night would set them up for a climb back into the division lead.
