Who are the referees assigned for Bengals vs. Ravens? Officials for Week 10 TNF showdown explored

The Week 10 schedule of the 2024 NFL season begins on Thursday Night Football with the Cincinnati Bengals traveling to M&T Bank Stadium to play the Baltimore Ravens.

The two teams faced off last month, and although Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow passed for 392 yards and recorded a career-high five touchdown passes, the Ravens won 41-38 in overtime. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson led Baltimore with 348 yards of throwing and four touchdowns.

Both teams probably feel that the stakes are higher now than they were when they faced each other in Week 5. The Bengals, who are 4-5, are hoping to preserve their postseason chances, while the Ravens, who are 6-3, are vying for the top spot in the AFC North division. Furthermore, Burrow and Jackson's efforts so far this season have put them in the running for MVP.

Referees for the Bengals vs. Ravens game revealed

The following officials will be in charge of the Thursday Night Football game between the Ravens and Bengals in NFL Week 10:

Head Referee: Clete Blakeman

Umpire: Scott Campbell

Down Judge: Dana McKenzie

Line Judge: Julian Mapp

Field Judge: Karina Tovar

Side Judge: James Coleman

Back Judge: Jonah Monroe

Replay Official - Chad Adams

Replay Assistant - Amber Cornell

Clete Blakeman will assume head referee duties for a Baltimore Ravens game for the first time this season when the team hosts the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night.

The Ravens defeated the Miami Dolphins 56-19 in Week 17 of the 2023 season, the last time Blakeman served as the referee crew chief for a Ravens game.

In his 15th season as an NFL head referee, Blakeman will officiate a Bengals vs. Ravens game for the fourth time today. Cincinnati has a superior 2-1 record against Baltimore in games called by the veteran referee.

Blakeman and his team now top the NFL in penalties called this season with an average of 16.3 per game, while the league average in this category is 12.99. In addition, their 142.5 penalty yards per game called is more than the league average of 104.8 yards.

The fact that home teams have only won 37.5% of the games that Blakeman and his staff have refereed is another interesting statistic. This is less than the league's average home victory percentage of just over 53%.

How to watch Bengals vs. Ravens in Week 10?

The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 41-24 last weekend, putting them back in the running for an AFC playoff berth. However, they must defeat the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night in a difficult divisional game if they want to improve to 0.500 for the first time this season.
