The Shaun Smith crew will be officiating the game.  This crew has not worked a Bengals game since 2020.  His crew is in the middle of the pack in both the number of flags thrown and yardage.  They tend to call more penalties, by more than 1 per game, against the visiting team than the home team.  They do call an awful lot of false starts so Jonah and his quick jump could become an issue.  Their second most penalty called is offensive holding against the visiting team so Trey Hendrickson might finally catch a break when he is held

Good intel.  Hope the home field has Buffalo missing snaps and getting flagged more than Cincy.
