After a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to bounce back against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. The contest between Cincinnati and Washington is one of two NFL games set to take place tonight, as the Buffalo Bills will also host the Jacksonville Jaguars.
While the Bengals are coming off of a loss to the Chiefs, the Commanders are fresh off of a division win over the New York Giants, and they'll be looking to build off of that momentum. It's an important game for both teams, even at this early point in the season. After all, every win counts. This will be the first regular season games between the two teams since 2020.
Below you'll find the full list of announcers (for both television and radio) and referees for the Week 3 showdown between the Bengals and Commanders, along with some additional viewing and listening information.
