Bengals receiver A.J. Green caught 10 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown and Cincinnati’s defense clamped down on the Miami Dolphins for a 22-7 victory that opened Week 4 in the NFL.
The 2-2 Bengals rebounded from a 29-17 home loss to Denver on Sunday with a solid all-around game against a depleted team.
During the first three quarters, Green had 166 yards on catches while Miami had 152 total yards. The Bengals’ season-long problem of stalling out near the goal line forced them to settle for Mike Nugent’s season-high five field goals.
The Dolphins were missing four starting offensive linemen, two linebackers, running back Arian Foster and tight end Jordan Cameron.
