Slowly being worked into the Steelers’ offense, Green recorded three receptions for thirty yards against the Cowboys. He failed to catch a pass against Cleveland, but hauled in two passes for 67 yards on Thanksgiving night against the Colts. His receptions against Indianapolis offered a small sample size of what a tight end with size and mobility could do for the Steelers’ offense.
In his fourth game in a Steelers’ uniform, Green had the type of game that made him the highly sought after free agent that Pittsburgh needed after the retirement of Heath Miller. Against the New York Giants, Green accumulated six receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown.
