Who are the announcers and referees for Bengals vs. Chiefs today?
Today's game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs is one of the biggest matchups of the first few weeks of the 2024 NFL season. Both teams have legitimate Super Bowl aspirations, and they have developed a real rivalry with each other in recent years.
While the Chiefs have largely dominated the league over the past half-decade, they've had a tough time besting the Bengals. Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow has a 3-1 career record against Kansas City and he'll look to push that mark to 4-1 today. Meanwhile, the Chiefs will do their best to make sure Burrow leaves Arrowhead Stadium with a 4-2 mark. It should be a very good game, and one you won't want to miss.
