Time for A.J. Green to turn tide vs. Ike Taylor

Bengals receiver A.J. Green has faced off against Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor four times. While Green has scored three touchdowns, he's caught just 14 passes for 172 yards in those games. Twice Green was held to one grab.

In Week 2 vs. Pittsburgh, Green was targeted 15 times. He managed six catches for 41 yards. Since then, however, Taylor's play has fallen off dramatically. Pro Football Focus rates him the fifth worst cornerback in the league. Quarterbacks own a 118.8 passer rating throwing at Taylor, who's given up an NFL-high 893 passing yards with six touchdowns. Receivers average 15.9 yards per catch against Taylor, tied for 15th highest.

The 33-year-old Taylor dealt with a concussion a few weeks ago but has not missed a game. He's committed six penalties and has zero interceptions.

Green ranks fifth with 78 catches, sixth with 1,175 receiving yards. He's scored in three of his past four games. Look for Green, a weekly top-10 play, to go off against the rapidly fading Taylor.
