For the fifth time in six home games this season the Bengals scored a touchdown in the first eight minutes when quarterback Andy Dalton hit a wide-open A.J. Green in the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown pass just 5:42 into the game to give the Bengals a 7-0 lead over the Rams Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
Green set up his first TD catch since he caught the winner in Pittsburgh Nov. 1 with his 14-yard grab on third-and-three when Dalton hit him on a crossing route that he finished off by bowling through a group of defenders for the last couple of yards.
