A.J. Green Video: Watch Bengals WR Take Flight on 11-Yard Touchdown Catch

A.J. Green and Andy Dalton have become fast friends.

With every touchdown pass the two combine for, you can't help but feel something special is brewing.

It didn't take long for them to hook up today at home against the woeful Indianapolis Colts.

A little less than six minutes into the game, Dalton put up a pass from the 11-yard-line that Green went up and claimed in the end zone for the first score of Week 6.

This is quickly becoming a trend.

Green's athleticism, frame and body control make him one of the best young receivers in all of football despite the fact that he is only a rookie.

He now has 25 catches for 412 yards on the year and four touchdowns including this 11-yarder.

The No. 4 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft is averaging over 16 yards per catch.

Is it a surprise that the Bengals are involved in the AFC North race with Dalton and Green aboard?

Not at all.

Should we expect more excitement like this from the pair of them?

Absolutely.

When A.J. Green is involved with a touchdown, it is almost always worth replaying, and it is becoming a common occurrence.

The Bengals have to deal with the Steelers, Ravens and Browns in their division alone, but their decision to go receiver in the first round and quarterback in the second round has them further along than they ever expected.

It will be tough for Cincinnati to make the postseason, but they're going to make it very interesting with Green and Dalton making plays like this.
