CINCINNATI (AP) — Sitting in the end zone after his game-turning catch http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/randy-bullock-jersey , A.J. Green raised the ball in celebration as Bengals teammates streamed toward him. They haven’t had many moments like this one — not in recent years, not in their 51-year history.The moment captured the difference between this Bengals team and the past few: It’s developed a knack for the big play in the final minutes.Green’s diving 13-yard touchdown catch with 7 seconds left gave Cincinnati a 37-36 victory Sunday in Atlanta and left the Bengals (3-1) tied with Baltimore atop the AFC North after a challenging opening month.They played three of their first four on the road, and won two of them with a last-minute play. A fumble return for a touchdown got them a 34-23 win in Indianapolis , the type of play they’ve lacked the past two seasons as they missed out on the playoffs.On Sunday in Atlanta, they had plenty of big plays under the most intense pressure.Andy Dalton converted a third down and a pair of fourth-down plays during the winning drive, then finished it off with a perfect throw to a sliding Green in the corner of the end zone. It was only the second time in franchise history that Cincinnati got a winning touchdown pass with less than 10 seconds left.“I think in the NFL, your great players have got to play great, and right now we’re getting that,” coach Marvin Lewis said Monday.“Our other guys are growing up around them because they want to be ‘look at me, too.’ So I think we’re gaining some of that.”Dalton and Green are reviving an offense that finished last in the league last season and was overhauled by coordinator Bill Lazor, putting more of an emphasis on throwing the ball downfield. Green had a career-high three touchdown catches during a 34-23 win over the Ravens in Cincinnati’s only home game.Dalton was nearly perfect in the first half against the Falcons, going 14 of 16 for 211 yards with two touchdowns, no interceptions and a passer rating of 158.3 — the best possible. He finished 29 of 41 for 337 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.On the last 12 plays of the winning drive, Dalton either scrambled or threw. Players found the 16-play drive significant, given how they’d been unable to do anything like it recently.“Whether or not it is just a win, it felt different http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/mark-walton-jersey ,” running back Giovani Bernard said.The Bengals will have to replace tight end Tyler Eifert for their home game Sunday against Miami (3-1), which is coming off a 38-7 loss to New England . Eifert dislocated and broke his right ankle while being tackled early in the second half, his latest season-scuttling injury.“It’s rough, especially over the years how he’s dealt with some things and people try to say he’s not tough and stuff, but it’s real things that are happening to him,” tight end Tyler Kroft said Monday. “It’s not little things keeping him out. That’s what’s a shame.”Eifert stayed in Cincinnati with an incentive-laden one-year deal, extending a career that’s been sidetracked by major back, shoulder, elbow and ankle injuries. He’s played six games the past two seasons.“When you lose a great player, a lot is going to change, so we have to figure that out,” Lazor said.BURFICT BACK: Linebacker Vontaze Burfict can return this week from his four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancers. When he returned from injury or suspensions the past three seasons, he played a significant amount in his first game back.Lewis indicated there’s a chance that running back Joe Mixon, who missed the past two games following knee surgery, could return to practice this week. Mixon had a piece of torn cartilage removed from his right knee.SECOND TIME: Dalton’s winning touchdown pass was only the second in Bengals history with less than 10 seconds left in a game. The other came from Akili Smith, who threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Carl Pickens in Cleveland for an 18-17 win in 1999. It was Cincinnati’s only win in the first 11 games that season. CINCINNATI (AP)Rookie Mitchell Trubisky knew there would be plenty of openings against Cincinnati’s depleted defense. The Bears exploited every one of them for their most-lopsided victory in five years. Trubisky threw for a touchdown and ran for another in his best showing yet http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/hardy-nickerson-jersey , and Chicago ended a five-game losing streak by routing the lackluster Cincinnati Bengals 33-7 on Sunday.Article continues below ... Jordan Howard ran for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Bears (4-9) dominated a matchup of the NFL’s worst offenses. Their rookie quarterback took full advantage of an aggressive game plan, completing a career-high 25 passes out of 32 attempts for 271 yards. He also ran 4 yards for a score. ”We just had fun doing it,” said Trubisky, who has completed 37 of 47 passes in the past two games without an interception. ”We trusted the plan, went out there and let it loose.” The Bengals (5-8) were coming off a 23-20 loss to the Steelers on Monday night that crushed their playoff hopes and gutted their defense. The Bears piled up a season-high 482 yards against a unit missing starting cornerbacks Adam ”Pacman” Jones and Dre Kirkpatrick as well as linebackers Vontaze Burfict and Nick Vigil. ”We knew they were banged up on that side of the ball and we wanted to take advantage,” Trubisky said. The Bengals described themselves as embarrassed by their worst home drubbing since a 34-3 loss to Baltimore in 2008. Many of the 52,002 fans headed for the exits early in the fourth quarter. ”I’m at a loss for words today,” said coach Marvin Lewis, whose contract is up at the end of the season. Everyone in the NFL’s lowest-ranked offense had a big game. Tarik Cohen ran for 80 yards, and Kendall Wright caught 10 passes for 107 yards – the first Bears receiver to top 100 yards this season. Andy Dalton was picked off for the first time since Oct. 22 in Pittsburgh, ending his career-best streak of 193 attempts without an interception. The interception set up Trubisky’s 1-yard touchdown pass that put the Bears in control 26-7 early in the fourth quarter, their biggest lead of the season. ”Definitely embarrassing,” said Bengals receiver A.J. Green, who had a dozen passes thrown his way but managed only five catches for 64 yards. ”It’s been a strange season for me.” TOPPING 1,000 Howard has rushed for 1,032 yards this season. He’s the first Bears running back to start their career with consecutive 1 http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/germaine-pratt-jersey ,000-yard seasons. ”There’s a great running back tradition here, a lot to live up to,” Howard said. ”So to do so, it’s a great feeling.” ROUGH WELCOME The Bears signed kicker Mike Nugent after Cairo Santos went on injured reserve with a groin injury during the week. Nugent spent seven seasons with the Bengals, who released him last season after a streak of missed field goals and extra points. He was booed loudly whenever he came onto the field to kick. Nugent missed an extra-point attempt – he hit the right upright – after Chicago’s first touchdown, but was good on every other kick, including field goals of 34 and 27 yards. ”You’re going to think of some of the negative stuff, but I had a really good time playing here in Cincinnati,” Nugent said. ”I hated to see my run here end.” HUGE NUMBERS The Bears’ big offensive game came on the heels of two of their worst. They managed only 140 and 147 yards in losses to the Eagles and 49ers the past two weeks. AJ & AJ Green went in to play defense on Chicago’s desperation pass at the end of the first half, which fell incomplete – Green wound up with the ball. Backup quarterback AJ McCarron got his first playing time of the season, filling in during the closing minutes. He was 4 of 8 for 47 yards with a sack. ILOKA’S DAY Bengals safety George Iloka initially was suspended one game for his hit to Antonio Brown’s head during the Steelers’ win on Monday. The suspension was overturned on appeal. Iloka had eight tackles, third on the team. INJURIES Bears: Right guard Kyle Long went on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, but the Bears’ offensive line had its way as Chicago piled up 29 first downs, more than double Cincinnati’s total. Bengals: Running back Joe Mixon was inactive because of a concussion suffered on Monday night. Giovani Bernard carried 11 times for 62 yards as Cincinnati’s offense managed only 234 yards. UP NEXT The Bears play at Detroit on Saturday. They lost to the Lions 27-24 on Nov. 19. The Bengals play at Minnesota on Sunday, facing former defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. —
