The Cincinnati Bengals are matching up against Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 for their second straight AFC North matchup, and their first game this season without Joe Burrow starting under center. The referee for that game has been revealed.
Brad Rogers, who is in his fifth year as a referee, will be in charge of the Bengals-Steelers game this week. He and his crew average 13.2 flags thrown per game this year.
The Bengals are third in the NFL with just five penalties against them per game and the Steelers are tied for ninth with just 5.5 flags per game.
Rogers hasn’t been a referee for a Bengals game since Dec. 27, 2020, when Brandon Allen led Cincinnati to a 37-31 win over Deshaun Watson’s Houston Texans.
