Bengals suffer significant setback, lose WR A.J. Green
Dre Kirkpatrick’s interception at the Bengal 1prevented Buffalo from going into the half with a lead. Seantrel Henderson, starter of 26 games at the position over the two previous seasons, will make his 2016 debut this week in tandem with Jordan Mills. Nugent also missed an extra point and a field goal during a 27-27 tie with Washington on October 30 in London.
Wilson also caught the first touchdown pass of his pro career, a 15-yarder from receiver Doug Baldwin. Most notably with Mike Nugent missing two point after attempts in Sunday’s game.
When they scored touchdowns in the first half, Nugent hit the upright on his two extra-point attempts, his kicks thrown off as he compensated for the wind.
Buffalo is coming off the bye week, but they lost three straight prior to that to fall to 4-5 on the season.
– Larry Lage reported from Detroit.
He got his right foot caught awkwardly as he tried to make a contested catch on Cincinnati’s first pass of the game.
Buffalo regained the lead in the third when Carpenter nailed a 54-yard field goal, his 14th field goal of at least 50 yards as a Bill which set a new franchise record, breaking the mark of 13 held by Steve Christie.
The latter may help explain how a Bengals team with so much potential continues to collapse in games they have no business losing.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith started against the Detroit Lions a day after his brother’s funeral. Earlier today, we saw A.J. Green carted off the field with a hamstring injury, and he was ruled out for the game. He immediately grabbed his right hamstring before walking off the field.
Their next leading receiver is running back Giovani Bernard who has 34 catches for 296 yards and one score.
Carroll stated that “there’s a chance” Prosise returns this season, but that the team won’t know until they have the results from further medical tests. Taylor is 1-11 when Buffalo trails by four or more points at any time in a game.FOURTH-QUARTER BLUES: Dalton ranks 21st in fourth-quarter passer rating at 85.2. That means overtaking both Baltimore and Pittsburgh, tied atop the division at 5-5.
By contrast, the Bengals (3-6-1) are in danger of not making the playoffs for the first time in six years.
But he looked more like a kid playing on the street than an National Football League franchise quarterback. But it was a win on the road against a conference opponent that has gone to the playoffs the last five seasons in a row and six of the last seven.
The Bills are now third in the AFC East standings, behind the 7-2 New England Patriots and the 5-4 Miami Dolphins.
