CINCINNATI (AP) — A quick-snap touchdown has the long-suffering Cincinnati Bengals thinking that their karma has finally changed.
The Bengals caught the Browns in a brain-lock moment Sunday, allowing A.J. Green’s 41-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of a 27-17 win. It’s the kind of breakdown that’s been more typical of the Bengals (1-0) during their 20 years of futility.
Coach Marvin Lewis thinks the comeback win gave his young team “something they can believe in.” The Bengals won only four games last season.
Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton was scheduled to see a specialist Monday for his injured right forearm. He was hit while throwing late in the first half and had trouble gripping the ball. Bruce Gradkowski finished the game. Dalton hopes to play next Sunday in Denver.
