It was impossible to sugarcoat this loss. Texans rookie cornerback Kevin Johnson wrapped his arms around Green and safety Quintin Demps pawed at the ball, and it escaped Green’s grasp before he hit the ground.

The Texans are 2-0 against the Bengals in the playoffs, winning wild-card round games in 2011 and 2012.
Dalton appeared on the cover of ESPN The Magazine and one media session last week at Paul Brown Stadium focused nearly entirely on the red-headed quarterback’s hairstyle.
“He’s a pro”, Texans head coach Bill O’Brien said of Yates.
“He made a good catch”, Jones said. “I’m disappointed in the game yesterday. But we move on and get back to work on Wednesday”. Instead he was quiet for most of the game.
However, while the Houston Texans are technically tied for first place in the AFC South, they are already down running back Arian Foster.
T.J. Yates took over in the third quarter after Brian Hoyer suffered a concussion and led the Houston Texans to a 10-6 victory Monday night in Cincinnati. “I will try to take advantage of this week and try to get to feeling better and getting healthy”. Hopkins on average sees 11 plus targets and this gives him a ton of chances to make big plays.
FINALLY A CLUNKER: After playing well overall for eight weeks, the Bengals had their worst game all-around. Opposing quarterbacks have completed 70.3% of their passes and have been intercepted just once and sacked only three times. Green fumbled it away.
“If A.J. won’t fumble the ball and Tyler Eifert won’t drop balls”, said Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. But my instincts and my gut tells me to not trust this bunch until they prove they can consistently win in primetime games, let alone in the playoffs.
A trip to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Sunday represents a huge opportunity for Cincinnati to right its ship. They were even just fine when they fell behind a little early and had to mount a comeback, as was the case on three different occasions in those games.
Yes, that is Dalton – after a horrendous loss in which he and his team failed tremendously to do what they needed to do to win a home game against an inferior team – whining and crying about Watt making a cheesy joke derived from A Christmas Story reference.
“Our goal was to come out here and make the Red Rifle look like a Red Ryder BB gun, and I think we did that tonight”.

It wasn’t pretty. I mean, it was 10-6. “I wish him the best the rest of the season”. The Bengals have been one of the best teams in the league so far this year and the play of Dalton has been the main reason for their success. “And for him to make comments like that, he’s just showing that it’s acceptable to say that kind of stuff”.
