Without Green, the Bengals are really going to have to rely on running back Giovani Bernard to help take the pressure off of quarterback, Andy Dalton, with Green out of the lineup.
He is proving that they can count on him during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
During the second quarter, the Bengals faced second-and-five on their own 41. Dalton found Bernard on a screen play. He got by a tackler and then leaped a defender, picking up 24 yards in the process.
