Who are the announcers and referees for Ravens vs. Broncos today?

The Baltimore Ravens enter their Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos with a lot on the line.

Following a tough loss to the Cleveland Browns that exposed some troubling weaknesses in the secondary, the Ravens are looking to regroup and reassert themselves as contenders

Lamar Jackson continues to drive this offense with his trademark explosiveness and vision, but he can't do it alone, especially with the Ravens' defense struggling in critical moments. Adding Diontae Johnson just before the trade deadline has given Jackson a reliable new weapon, and all eyes will be on how this offense performs with their bolstered receiving corps.

This game against the Broncos isn’t just about bouncing back; it’s about setting a tone for the rest of the season. Denver has had its share of challenges, but they’ll bring pressure, especially against a Ravens team needing to tighten up defensively. As Baltimore pushes forward in the playoff race, fans will want to know who’s calling the game and managing the officiating on the field.

Here’s a look at the voices in the booth and the officials on the field for today’s clash at M&T Bank Stadium.

Referees for Ravens vs. Broncos

Adrian Hill Head Referee (Crew Chief)

Adrian Hill will ref the Ravens vs Broncos Week 9 matchup today. He last officiated the Ravens in Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals last season.

In the 2024 NFL season, Hill has officiated seven games as a referee and has shown a tendency to call more penalties than the league average.

His games have averaged 15.43 penalties and 126.71 penalty yards per game, both significantly above the league average of 12.98 penalties and 104.52 yards per game. Hill's penalty-calling rate is 2.45 penalties and 22.19 yards higher than the league norm, indicating a stricter approach on the field this year.

Interestingly, Hill's officiating hasn't favored either the home or visiting teams in terms of penalties, as the split is nearly even at 50.93% for the home team and 49.07% for the visitors.

However, home teams under his watch this season have won only 28.57% of the time, a rate notably lower than the league average win percentage of 51.22%, suggesting that other game dynamics may be affecting home performance in his games.

Here is the rest of the crew that will be calling the game with Hill:

• Umpire: Roy Ellison
• Down Judge: David Oliver
• Line Judge: Greg Bradley
• Field Judge: Tra Boger
• Side Judge: Clay Reynard
• Back Judge: Greg Steed
