CINCINNATI BENGALS 31, CLEVELAND INDIANS 17

At Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati ■ RECAP: A.J. Green’s one-handed catch in the middle of an end zone scrum highlighted Cincinnati’s day full of big plays, and the Bengals (3-4) kept the Browns (0-7) the league’s only winless team.

Green made a 48-yard touchdown catch on a tipped ball to end the first half and finished with 169 yards on eight catches, including another 48-yard grab to set up a third-quarter field goal. Andy Dalton passed for 308 yards and two TDs.

The defending AFC North champions scored their most points since they beat the Browns 37-3 last December. Jeremy Hill had a 74-yard TD run as part of his 168-yard effort, the best by a Bengals running back in seven years. Cincinnati piled up 559 yards, its most since 1990.

The Browns extended their worst start since 1999, when they were a first-year expansion team, and also lost another quarterback to injury. Cody Kessler got hit hard while throwing a shovel pass in the second quarter, then went to the locker for a concussion evaluation and was ruled out.

That left the offense in the hands of undrafted rookie Kevin Hogan, the Browns’ sixth quarterback of the season. Hogan scored on a 28-yard scramble and finished as Cleveland’s leading rusher with 104 yards.

■ “I beat everybody down there, so I had first dibs on the ball. I tapped it to myself a couple of times.” — Green on his touchdown
