Who are the referees for Bengals vs. Commanders? All about Week 3 MNF game officials

The Cincinnati Bengals will play against the Washington Commanders at Paycor Stadium in one of the two Monday Night Football games scheduled for tonight.

Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has led the team to a 1-1 start to the season, will participate in his first NFL primetime matchup on Monday. Daniels will get another chance to prove he deserves to be the team's starting quarterback tonight when he takes on Joe Burrow, another former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from LSU.

Although the Bengals are undoubtedly the superior team going into the game, upsets are regular in the NFL, as we have already seen on numerous occasions this season.

Who are the referees for the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Washington Commanders Monday night game?

The Week 3 NFL game between the Bengals and Commanders is scheduled to be officiated by the following crew tonight:

Head Referee: Brad Allen

Umpire - Duane Heydt

Down Judge - Sarah Thomas

Line Judge - Walter Flowers

Field Judge - Rick Patterson

Side Judge - Chad Hill

Back Judge - Tyree Walton

Replay Official - Kevin Brown

Replay Assistant - Durwood Manley

The Week 3 Monday night matchup will feature Brad Allen as the crew chief.

Allen is currently in his 11th season as a referee in the NFL — he was appointed to take up the role in 2014 after referee Mike Carey announced his retirement. Allen was named a referee in his first year of officiating, making him the first NFL official to hold that honor in over five decades.

Like all NFL officials, Allen has been involved in some controversy over a few calls, most notably during a Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys contest last season. In the last seconds of that matchup, the referee and his officiating team incorrectly ruled out a two-point conversion attempt by the Lions.

Referee Brad Allen and his crew officiated the Minnesota Vikings vs. San Francisco 49ers game in Week 2, which the Vikings won spectacularly, 23-17.

How to watch Cincinnati Bengals vs. Washington Commanders in Week 3?

The Washington Commanders aim to improve their record to 2-1 in Week 3 after beating the New York Giants in Week 2 to secure their first win. The Cincinnati Bengals, who lost their opening two games of the season—against the Kansas City Chiefs and then the New England Patriots—will also be hungry to record their first win tonight.
