The Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers are locked into a huge rivalry game this afternoon that carries a lot more meaning than just a rivalry. Both teams are very much alive in the playoff race in the AFC, and are both at the top of the AFC North with a chance to win the division. This game could end up being the deciding factor in who wins and loses the division when everything is said and done.
A.J. Green has missed a good chunk of time this season due to injuries, but he is back at full health and came through with a huge 81-yard touchdown reception this afternoon. Cincinnati has desperately needed him to step up for Andy Dalton, ad he has done that when he has been on the field.
Take a look at the touchdown grab from Green:
If the Bengals are going to win this game, they are going to need to keep putting points on the board and continue getting Green the football. Dalton has done a good job for the most part this afternoon, but Green coming up with that touchdown was even bigger. There aren’t many defenses that can lock him down, and the Bengals have to taken advantage of that throughout the rest of the game.
