When the Bengals have the ball
Key performers: QB AJ McCarron, RB Giovani Bernard, RB Jeremy Hill, WR A.J. Green, WR Marvin Jones, WR Mohamed Sanu, TE Tyler Eifert, LT Andrew Whitworth, RG Kevin Zeitler.
Who’s hot or not: Since replacing Andy Dalton in the second quarter of their Dec. 13 loss to the Steelers, McCarron has a 2-1 record and has not thrown an interception in those three games. But, after throwing a 66-yard TD to A.J. Green against the Steelers, he has completed only four passes longer than 20 yards and failed to make plays because of missing open receivers.
