CINCINNATI -- Andy Dalton threw it high and far, and watched the ball come down in a scrum of orange and white jerseys.The ball got tipped around, and Dalton heard the crowd erupt.All he knew was that the Bengals had scored an improbable touchdown.I didnt even know who caught it, Dalton said. When I saw everybody was high-fiving A.J., I knew who it was then.He should have guessed. Green tipped the ball and then grabbed it with his right hand while being pulled down on the final play of the first half for a 48-yard touchdown that highlighted a game full of big plays. Cincinnatis 31-17 win over the Cleveland Browns helped the Bengals regain their footing in the AFC North.The Bengals (3-4) are back in the race in the injury-depleted division. No play symbolized their revival more than the one at the end of the first half.I beat everybody down there, so I had first dibs on the ball, Green said. I tapped it to myself a couple of times.The Bengals ran off the field with a sense that the game had turned. The Browns (0-7) couldnt believe another improbable moment in a season full of them.Those are plays that shouldnt happen, coach Hue Jackson said.Another thing that shouldnt happen: The Browns lost another quarterback. Cody Kessler completed 9 of 11 passes for 82 yards before suffering a concussion on a shovel pass in the second quarter.Undrafted rookie Kevin Hogan -- Clevelands sixth quarterback in seven games -- completed 12 of 24 for 100 yards with a pair of interceptions.Hogan ran seven times for a team-high 104 yards, including a 28-yard TD run that was the longest by a quarterback in Browns history.I felt very comfortable out there, Hogan said. I felt good in the huddle, leading the guys and getting to the right plays.Some takeaways from the Bengals fourth straight lopsided win in the rivalry:BENGALS TURNAROUND: It was Cincinnatis biggest game offensively since the previous time it played Cleveland. The 34 points were the Bengals most since a 37-3 win in Cleveland last December. The Bengals piled up 559 yards, their most since 1990. Green had eight catches for 169 yards. Jeremy Hill ran nine times for 168 yards -- the most by a Bengal in seven years -- including a 74-yard TD run.Its definitely a start for us, Hill said. Were not satisfied, but its a start in the right direction.DALTON FLAWLESS AGAIN: Dalton had one of the worst games of his career against Cleveland in 2014, when he finished with a minuscule passer rating of 2.0. In his past three games against them, hes been flawless -- 54 of 74 for 762 yards with seven TDs and no interceptions. That translates into a passer rating of 137.3.BEAT THE COORDINATOR: The Bengals got the better of Jackson, who left to become Clevelands head coach after being the offensive coordinator in Cincinnati. Next up is his predecessor, Jay Gruden. The Bengals make their first trip to London to play Grudens Washington team.BROWNS QB WOES: So, now what? Hogan joins Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown, Kessler, Charlie Whitehurst and Terrelle Pryor as Clevelands quarterbacks through the first seven games. Jackson said theres a chance McCown could be available for a home game against the Jets next week despite a sore left shoulder. Theres no telling Kesslers fate with the concussion.These quarterbacks only have so many of these hits in their body, you know? Jackson said. Pretty soon, guys dont get up all the time, and thats whats been happening. Its just been happening way too much, so on we go.CLEVELANDS MISERY: The previous time the Browns were 0-7 was 1999, when they were a first-year expansion team. Theres been only one worse start in franchise history, 0-9 in 1975. This one is quickly turning into one for the record books.We definitely didnt play our hardest today, or the way the Browns should play, defensive lineman Danny Shelton said.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Schuhe Kaufen Schweiz .

ATLANTA -- Manager Don Mattingly says newly acquired closer Fernando Rodney will work primarily as a setup man for A.J. Ramos in the Miami Marlins bullpen.Rodney joined his new team on Friday, a day after San Diego traded him for a minor league pitcher. The Marlins view Rodney as adding strength to an already solid group of relievers.Mattingly will occasionally give him a chance to close, but the job still belongs to Ramos.Talking with him, he was great in giving him our reasoning, Mattingly said. Like I told him, if he was the guy here and had not blown one, I would do the same thing for him. I think he totally understands.Rodneys 253 career saves rank fifth among active pitchers. The 39-year-old has converted all 17 of his chances this year, and his 0.31 ERA leads the majors among qualifying relievers.Rodney was all smiles as he spoke with reporters before Fridays game against the Atlanta Braves. He playfully seemed more concerned about having to conform to Mattinglys rule banning facial hair and shave his beard.He was still holding out hope it wont have to go.If thats the rule they have here, I like to play baseball and have fun, Rodney said. Im not worried about shaving. I want to have fun with my teammates, play good, play hard. Thats it.Ramos has been Miamis closer since May 2015. His 24 saves rank second in the majors, and he has converted 33 straight chances since last September.With A.J. and what hes been able to do -- hes been perfect -- it would be hard for me to taake that out of our mix, Mattingly said.dddddddddddd Our back end has been good. Fernando makes us better.Mattingly told Rodney that he will get some chances to close when Ramos has worked consecutive days.Fernando has a track record obviously of being a big-time guy, Mattingly said. Hes been there, done that.David Phelps will now primarily work the seventh inning and Kyle Barraclough the sixth inning.Mattingly indicated that Ramos, Phelps and Barraclough welcomed the news of Rodneys addition.I think these guys, for the most part, like knowing when theyre going to pitch and in what situations, Mattingly said. We cant always give them exactly when every time, but I think they like to know when the phone rings, whos getting up for the most part.The Marlins are Rodneys seventh team and sixth since 2011, but Mattingly believes he will fit in easily.All the people we talked to love this guy, Mattingly said. As a teammate on and off the field, he wants to win. Totally professional. Im excited about having this guy. I think hes going to help our club.Though Mattingly said the beard is coming off, the Marlins will let Rodney keep wearing his cap cocked sideways. The arrow, a celebratory stance he uses after earning a save, is another Rodney staple that stays.Im going to save the arrow for now, Rodney said. If you have a chance, youre going to see a landing.
