"It's been big," Dalton said of Green being healthy. "For him to have a performance like he did -- at least that's what we expect from him. He's so talented we feel like he matches up with almost anybody."
Mohamed Sanu is having a breakout year with team highs of 719 yards and five touchdown catches, while rookie second-round pick Jeremy Hill has been solid for a running game that ranks seventh with 125.6 yards per game.
Hill, averaging 5.5 yards per rush in his last four, had 87 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries last week even as Giovani Bernard returned after missing three games with hip and shoulder injuries. Bernard chipped in 67 total yards, but he and Hill will be missing a key blocker as tackle Andre Smith has been placed on injured reserve with a torn left triceps suffered last week.
"We're starting to find a groove and I think that's very important," Hill said. "We're finding our spots at the right time in the season. We're finally getting our groove back."

Bengals could have a let down but they have other Div teams on their ass.
Tampa Bay sucks bad.
If Bengals lose this they should be whipped in the woodshed.
