Who are the announcers and referees for Bengals vs. Panthers today?
After losing their first three games of the 2024 NFL season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get off the schneid in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are fresh off of their first victory of the season over the Las Vegas Raiders after making a change at quarterback, and they'll be looking to secure a second straight W.
The Bengals simply can't let that happen if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive, as only one team in NFL history has qualified for postseason play after an 0-4 start. The contest is an important one for both teams, and one that fans won't want to miss.
