• Bengals' A.J. Green: Catchless in finale

  01/04/2021 •

  Green recorded no catches on six targets in the team's Week 17 loss to the Ravens. Green struggled along with the rest of the Bengals' offense, as the team managed to complete only six passes across the entire game. Despite playing in all 16 contests, Green posted by far the worst campaign of his career by finishing with only 523 yards and two touchdowns. While some of his struggles in 2020 can be attributed to poor quarterback play in the second half of the season, it's difficult to project Green to return to his top form as he will be 33 when the 2021 season begins. Entering the offseason as a free agent, it's very likely that Green has played his last snap in Cincinnati.

• Bengals' A.J. Green: Records four receptions

  12/27/2020 •

  Green recorded four receptions on seven targets for 64 yards in Week 16 against the Texans. Green was one of four Bengals pass-catchers to command at least six targets, as Brandon Allen took to the air 37 times. The veteran wideout struggled to get going initially, gaining only five yards on his first five targets. However, Green was a strong contributor thereafter, logging receptions of 33, 14 and 12 yards. Given the way Allen has spread targets around, Green can't be confidently projected for significant volume in Week 17 against the Ravens.

• Bengals' A.J. Green: Tops team in receiving yards

  12/22/2020 •

  Green brought in two of three targets for 40 yards in the Bengals' 27-17 win over the Steelers on Monday night. Green provided the highlight of the night for the air attack with a 30-yard reception, which also helped propel him to the team lead in receiving yardage for the contest. The multi-time Pro Bowler was coming off his best game since late October in the form of a 6-62-1 effort against the Cowboys in Week 14, so Monday night's numbers represented a modest downturn. Green will look to boost his overall production at the expense of a sub-par Texans secondary in a Week 16 matchup.

• Bengals' A.J. Green: Rebounds in Week 14

  12/13/2020 •

  Green recorded six receptions on seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Cowboys. Green had drawn only four targets across his last two games combined heading into Week 14. However, he bounced back to exceed five targets for only the second time since Week 8. He made the most of the opportunity by recording four receptions of 10 or more yards. Green also found the end zone for the second time this season on a five-yard reception with eight seconds remaining in the first half. He'll next draw a Week 15 matchup against the Steelers.

• Bengals' A.J. Green: One target Week 13

  12/07/2020 •

  Green failed to catch is only target during Sunday's 19-7 loss to the Dolphins. The 32-year-old played 45 of 52 offensive snaps but received his only target on a short route during the third quarter. Green has only four catches for 41 yards and one touchdown over the past four games -- all of which came in one contest -- and his outlook doesn't figure to improve much the rest of the season with Brandon Allen (chest) or Ryan Finley leading the offense.
