Green's Great Grabs

If you watched the Bengals game on Sunday, then you saw the cardiac cats blow a 15-0 lead to the Ravens only to come back and win when Andy Dalton threw a 77-yard bomb to A.J. Green who juggled the ball before securing it and taking it into the end zone. It was an incredible catch and reminiscent of what Green did in Baltimore last year.

The Bengals were down by a touchdown with seconds left in the game. The ball was on their own 49-yard line, and Dalton threw up a prayer. The ball sailed toward the end zone and bounced around twice before landing into the waiting hands of A.J. Green for the touchdown. Unfortunately, the Bengals lost the game in overtime, but what is most remembered from this game is Green’s Hail Mary grab. The catch can be seen here.

On Sunday, Green was once again able to dazzle fans of Who-Dey nation with another incredible catch. He has said multiple times that he was trained in the art of juggling as a kid, and he inadvertently showed off his juggling ability during the game. The Bengals offense had not scored a touchdown all day as they built their 15-0 lead with five field goals. The Ravens climbed back into the game and grabbed a 16-15 lead. With a little over 5 minutes left in the game and the ball on their own 23-yard line, Dalton threw the ball to Green who caught it, juggled it, and caught it again before taking it in for the score. It was the most exciting play of the game, and it gave the Bengals the win. The juggling catch can be seen here.

Green is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and these two catches are prime examples of why he is one of the best offensive weapons for the Bengals. I jumped up and cheered like crazy when he made the two phenomenal grabs. The catches were exciting to watch, and they will definitely be featured in the Bengals highlight reel for years to come. Hopefully Green continues to make more phenomenal catches for the Bengals and help lead them to more victories.

Who-Dey!
