Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis may never have looked worse than he did in Sunday’s season-opening loss, mostly because few receivers in the league could ever look as good as A.J. Green did in the Bengals’ 23-22 win at MetLife Stadium.
Green turned Alcatraz into Aruba, transforming Revis Island into an inviting getaway as the receiver finished with 12 catches on 13 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown. It was Green’s most receptions since Nov. 23, 2014 and his most receiving yards since last September.
“He continues to amaze me … to watch him do the things that he can do, especially with one of the best cornerbacks on him all day, it was definitely a performance [for] the record books,” Bengals running back Jeremy Hill said.
