Bengals’ A.J. Green carted off after suffering hamstring injury

This sets them back there even more. Dalton found Tyler Boyd on third down in the corner of the end zone with a fade pass.

The Cincinnati Bengals lost 16-12 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but that might be the least of their concerns.

“We didn’t waver at halftime”, said Kyle Williams.

He admitted, “I feel fortunate to win the game (but) we deserved it as well”.

Sunday’s game was one the Bengals clearly had to have to keep alive hopes of the playoffs. McCoy managed 33 yards on five carries, including a seven-yard touchdown, before leaving the game.

The injuries are a flawless example why head coach Marvin Lewis said on Friday they’ll wait to see what develops since they can activate Peerman or Jackson at any time. “Yes, it’s tiring. It’s depressing”.

“You don’t want to get older at quarterback”.

Big-play potential left the passing game with Green once the dynamic wideout left the field with a hamstring injury in the first quarter. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Prosise has “a scapula issue”, and that he will require more tests before determining the severity of the injury, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.

The Cincinnati Bengals offense was awful, with Dalton throwing two interceptions.

But the real stars of this game could be found on the Bills defense, especially in the second half.

Kansas City’s Dee Ford injured his hamstring and didn’t play in the second half of the Chiefs’ loss to Tampa Bay.

Apparently, McCoy dislocated a thumb, and team medical personnel “couldn’t pop the thumb back in”, Ryan said afterward. It’s unclear how long both will be sidelined.

Making adjustments on the fly the Bengals were able to answer back with a strong showing of their own.

UPRIGHT KICKS: Mike Nugent hit the upright on both of his extra-point attempts while compensating for the wind.

Lewis blamed only one miss on Nugent, pinning the other on a bad snap.

McCoy finished with 39 yards and passed Marshawn Lynch (11,091) for 75th place on the NFL’s all-time scrimmage yards list. The Bengals have allowed 180 yards rushing three times this season.

The Steelers ran 41 plays in the half to 17 for Cleveland, and held the ball for 20:37.

Luck missed on his first throw of the game, then completed 10-of-10 for 160 yards and two TDs as Indy grabbed a 21-0 lead.

Green, the fourth pick in the 2011 draft, has only missed four games in his National Football League career.

Without Green, Dalton had a rough afternoon, going 24 of 43 for 207 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for a 57.0 rating.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, McCoy is expected to play next week, when the Bills host the Jaguars. He will be at home against a Miami team that has won four straight games and is now 5-4. It is something as routine as an extra point that caused the Bengals to not only go down against the Buffalo Bills but to lose by four points 16-12 at Paul Brown Stadium.
