The Cincinnati Bengals play their regular season home opener this Sunday against the Denver Broncos and it will be officiated by a familiar crew to the fans at Paul Brown Stadium.

The week three matchup will be officiated by John Parry's crew, who are the same referees that were assigned to January's Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Jay Morrison of the Dayton Daily News.

That game between the Steelers and Bengals was one of the most brutal matchups of recent memory, which Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman called "one of the dirtiest and ugliest contests in the modern era of the sport."
