CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens will have one of the NFL’s most senior referees on the call Thursday night.

Clete Blakeman has the assignment, and this will be the first time he’s seen the Bengals or the Ravens this season.

Blakeman has been an NFL official since 2008 and a head referee since 2010.

His first was the 2011 Wild-Card Round loss at Houston.

The Bengals are 8-7 with Blakeman as the referee, and they are 2-1 against Baltimore with him on the call.
