Biggest Week 4 NFL questions, stats and predictions
Can the Seahawks get by with a hobbled Russell Wilson? Here's what to watch for during Week 4 in the NFL.
Bengals end first quarter of season on high note (0:59)
Katherine Terrell ESPN Staff Writer
The first quarter of the NFL season is over, and the Bengals ended on a high note with a dominating performance against the Dolphins. Next week -- the possible return of Tyler Eifert
Jeremy Hill swaps jerseys with Jarvis Landry, sports 'too much sauce' message
Jeremy Hills jersey swap with the Dolphin's Jarvis Landry was a celebration of their long road to the NFL from their high school days in Louisiana.
Bengals' A.J. Green burns Dolphins, fastest to 100 receiving yards in a game this season
Bengals star A.J. Green torched the Dolphins for 123 yards in the first half Thursday, the fastest an NFL player has hit the mark this season.
Bengals' Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap lead the way in 'gut check' week
The Bengals defense rebounded from last week's 19-point loss with five sacks and two takeaways, and held Miami to just seven points.
A.J. Green runs wild in win over Dolphins
A.J. Green caught 10 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown, as the Bengals beat the Dolphins to pull themselves back to .500.
How the Bengals won: A.J. Green carries the offense
A.J. Green's big night carries the Cincinnati offense.
Give the ball to A.J. Green and you'll find a way to win (0:52)
Katherine Terrell ESPN Staff Writer
It's just four weeks into the season and there's a pattern developing--get the ball to A.J Green early and often, and the Bengals will probably win the game.
Bengals still searching for identity (0:51)
ESPN Stats and Information
Andy Dalton and A.J. Green teamed up for 173 receiving yards in Thursday's win over the Dolphins. According to Elias, they have the second-most yards by a QB/WR duo who were drafted in the same year (both were taken in 2011) by the same team since 1980. Dan Marino/Mark Clayton (1983 draft) accounted for 8,469 yards and Andrew Luck/T.Y. Hilton (2012 draft) accounted for 4,131 yards.
A.J. Green has his way with the Dolphins (1:13)
A.J. Green has big game as Bengals dominate Dolphins 22-7
Bengals receiver A.J. Green followed his disappointing game with a dominating one -- 173 yards and a touchdown -- and the Cincinnati defense that was inspired by Vontaze Burfict's return clamped
Katherine Terrell ESPN Staff Writer
A.J Green, and an impressive defensive performance, led the Bengals to a 22-7 led against the Dolphins. The Dolphins were helpless to stop Green, and the Bengals kept up good pressure to keep Miami off kilter. Trend of not finishing drives continues though with five field goals.
Matt Bowen ESPN Staff Writer
QB Ryan Tannehill has to do a better job of managing the pocket, but this Dolphins offensive line was handled tonight by the Bengals front-four pass rush. I expected more RPOs (run-pass options) and three-step routes in the Miami game plan to get the ball out quicker.
Matt Bowen ESPN Staff Writer
Have to question the throw from Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill on the interception. With the Bengals dropping to Cover 2 at the snap, Tannehill should see Bengals DB Chris Lewis-Harris as the underneath defender. Lewis-Harris is coached up to drop between the numbers and the hash. Get depth and read the QB. There wasn't an open window in the zone coverage for Tannehill to throw that ball. Bad decision with the Dolphins down 22-7 in the fourth quarter.
Kevin Seifert NFL Nation
Dolphins coach Adam Gase has an excellent track record with a long line of quarterbacks. Ryan Tannehill might be his biggest challenge yet.
Katherine Terrell ESPN Staff Writer
Bengals kicker Mike Nugent ties a career high with his fifth field goal of the night, giving Cincinnati a 22-7 lead in the fourth quarter.
Tannehill finds Stills deep for the TD (0:38)
Kevin Seifert NFL Nation
I'm not sure I've ever seen a roughing the punter penalty quite like the one the Dolphins' Terrence Fede just got called for. He didn't hit Bengals punter Kevin Huber while trying to block the kick, as you often see. Instead, Fede just threw Huber to the ground long after the ball was gone. That is the definition of brainlock. I'm shocked the Dolphins put him back into the game, to be honest.
