Green.I say "javelin" because Redskins fans felt as if one just got run through their hearts.Wide receiver A.J. Green then ran the final few yards to the end zone with, not surprisingly, a tuckered out Redskins defender lagging several yards behind.The Bengals' Zero:Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, and his strange decision to call for a fake field goal deep in Redskins territory, despite leading already, 14-7, in the second quarter of the game. Ultimately it didn't affect the outcome, but imagine the explaining Lewis would have to do if, upon being stymied on the ...
