CINCINNATI – Veteran referee Bill Vinovich will be on the call for the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens game on Sunday at Paycor Stadium.

Vinovich has been an NFL official since 2001 and a referee since 2004, with a hiatus from 2007-11.

He has worked 17 Bengals games, most of any active referee.

Four of those 17 games came in Cincinnati’s 2021 Super Bowl season, including the AFC Championship Game win at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Bengals are 8-9 in games with Vinovich as the referee,

Vinovich and his crew rank 12th (out of 17) in number of penalties called per game at 12.5 – with 7.5 going against the home team and 5.0 against the visitors.

In 2023, Vinovich’s crew ranked eighth with 11.6 penalties per game – with a balanced 5.8 coming against the home team and 5.8 against the road team.

He was the only referee in the league with an even split (Scott Novak was close with 4.9 home and 4.8 road).
