Bengals figure how to get offense moving without AJ Green
CINCINNATI — Rookie receiver Cody Core took off toward the backfield when the ball was snapped for what he thought was a fake reverse.
Instead, Andy Dalton had changed the play to a run, and Core collided with Rex Burkhead for a 2-yard loss.
Oops!
On the next play, Core beat a defender deep for a 50-yard catch — the first of his NFL career — that set up Cincinnati’s first touchdown during a 32-14 win over Philadelphia on Sunday.
