CINCINNATI -- A.J. Green juggled oranges on a postgame show after a win earlier this season, showing off for the cameras. His latest sleight-of-hand got a touchdown and turned a game.And maybe the Bengals season, too.Greens one-handed catch in the middle of an end zone scrum highlighted Cincinnatis day full of big plays, and the Bengals pulled away to another lopsided victory over their intrastate rival, beating the winless Cleveland Browns 31-17 on Sunday.Greens 48-yard touchdown catch on the final play of the first half helped the Bengals (3-4) regain their footing in the injury-depleted AFC North.We needed it in a big way, said Brandon LaFell, who caught a 44-yard touchdown pass.The defending division champions piled up their most points since they beat the Browns 37-3 last December. Jeremy Hill had a 74-yard touchdown run as part of his 168-yard effort, the best by a Bengals running back in seven years.After failing to score more than 23 points in any of the first six games, the Bengals finally got their act together against one of the leagues worst defenses, piling up 559 yards -- their most since 1990.Its definitely a start for us, Hill said. Were not satisfied, but its a start in the right direction.For Cleveland, it was just another step in a downward trend since the season opener.The Browns (0-7) extended their worst start since 1999, when they were a first-year expansion team. The NFLs only winless team also lost yet another quarterback -- the theme of their season.Cody Kessler got hit hard while throwing a shovel pass in the second quarter, then went to the locker for a concussion evaluation and was ruled out.Quarterbacks only have so many hits in them, Browns coach Hue Jackson said. Its unfortunate. On we go.The concussion left the offense in the hands of undrafted rookie Kevin Hogan, the Browns sixth quarterback of the season.Hogan -- Clevelands last quarterback standing -- kept it close for a while by scrambling 28 yards for his first NFL touchdown, the longest TD run by a quarterback in team history. He finished as the Browns top rusher with 104 yards.Running is something Ive always felt confident in, that I could get a first down or a big gain, Hogan said.With cornerback Joe Haden sidelined, the Browns had nobody who could cover Green, who had eight catches for 169 yards. The entire Browns defense couldnt stop him on the final play of the first half.Green reached with his right hand and pulled in the tipped ball for a 21-10 halftime lead.I beat everybody down there, so I had first dibs on the ball, Green said. I tapped it to myself a couple of times.He also had a 48-yard catch down the sideline that set up a field goal as the Bengals pulled away in the third quarter.ONE-SIDED RIVALRYThe Bengals have won the past four in the series by scores of 30-0, 31-10, 37-3 and 31-17. The Bengals 37-3 win in Cleveland last December was Cincinnatis most lopsided in the series and matched the biggest margin of victory by either team.INJURIESBrowns: Haden was sidelined with a groin injury. Terrelle Pryor, who leads the Browns in receiving, played with an injured hamstring and had two catches for 18 yards.Bengals: TE Tyler Eifert was active for the first time following offseason ankle surgery and a back injury.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- The Players Championship already provides plenty of theatre because of its thrill-a-minute golf course. Making it even more compelling is the star attraction of Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods, playing in the final group on the weekend for the first time in nearly seven years. Garcia made seven straight putts -- six of them for birdie -- on his way to a 7-under 65 to match his best score on the TPC Sawgrass. That gave him a one-shot lead over Woods, who again made short work of the par 5s and posted his second straight 67. Woods broke his own 36-hole record at Sawgrass by six shots and cant find much wrong with his game at the moment. Its hard to call it a rivalry because its so one-sided. Not only does Woods have a 77-8 margin in PGA Tour victories (and 14-0 in the majors), in the previous five times they were in the final group on the weekend on the PGA Tour, Woods has gone on to win all five times. Asked about the possibility of playing with Woods on Saturday, Garcia said he wouldnt see it as anything but another round of golf. "I dont have to measure myself against anybody," Garcia said. "I know what I want to try to do, and any given day I can shoot a round like this and any other day he can shoot a good round and beat me. Like we always say, its not a sprint, its a marathon. So there are going to be good days and not so good days, so just got to enjoy the good ones as much as possible." This was a good day. Garcia ran off five straight birdies, ending the streak with putts from 20 feet and 25 feet, and then he added a 40-foot birdie putt on the par-3 eighth. Garcia, who won The Players in 2008, was at 11-under 133. Woods looks like hes having a good time on the course that has vexed him more than any other on the PGA Tour, and he could be the greater threat on the weekend. He now is 8-under on the par 5s this week, including a 20-foot eagle putt on No. 2 that gave him a share of lead. Woods took the outright lead with a short birdie putt on No. 4 until Garcia blazed by him with his string of birdies. Woods was asked if there was any part of his game that made him unhappy. "No, Im pretty pleased with where its at right now," Woods replied. The reporter looked at him, waiting for more. Woods looked back and finally added with a grin, "Did I answer that?" Woods and Garcia have played together on big stages -- Bethpage Black, Royal Liverpool -- with a big edge for Woods. They first were linked when the Spaniard was 19 and gave Woods all he could handle at Medinah in the 1999 PGA Championship. They were paired in the final round of the 2002 U.S. Open and 2006 British Open, the year Garcia dressed all in yellow. But with the tournament only halfway over, this is far more than a duel between Woods and Garcia. The 18 players within five shots of the lead include three current major champions -- Adam Scott, Webb Simpson and Rory McIlroy -- along with Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson, Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan and Zach Johnson. Westwood chipped in from 100 feet for eagle on the 11th hole and was atop the leaderboard unttil making pars on his last eight holes.dddddddddddd He had a 66 and was two shots behind, along with Kevin Chappell (66) and Stenson, who had two eagles on the front nine in his round of 67. Ryan Palmer, who learned Thursday night that one of his best friends died in a car accident in San Antonio, had two eagles in a round of 69 and was three shots behind. Defending champion Matt Kuchar birdied three of his last four holes for a 66 and was at 7-under 137, along with Scott, Mahan and Johnson. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., followed his opening round 71 with a 70, and remains eight shots off the pace at 3-under 141. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., bettered his opening round with a 71, and is 10 back. McIlroy was coming off back-to-back bogeys when he chose to go for the green in two at the par-5 ninth -- he had planned to lay up each day. He hit the trees and got into a mess, and McIlroy made his third straight bogey. He rallied on the back for a 72 and was in the group at 6-under 138. "Ive made the cut, which Im delighted about," said McIlroy, who had missed the weekend his three previous times. "But I am in there with a chance." Woods won The Players in 2001, highlighted by that 60-foot putt on the island green described by NBC Sports analyst Gary Koch as "better than most." But he has only seriously contended twice, and he has failed to crack the top 20 eight times in 15 appearances. Woods is accentuating only the positive. "Even though I havent played well in the past, Ive still won here," he said. "Actually, Ive won here twice, technically." He was referring to the U.S. Amateur in 1994, the first of his three straight titles. "I havent played my best here, but Ive always felt that courses, even though its been a while Ive won on them, Ive still won on them," Woods said. "I know how to get around this golf course. This course, more than most, really tests every facet of your game. You have to drive the ball well. You have to hit your irons in the correct spots, and if you dont hit your irons in the correct spots, youre going to have some really funky up-and-downs. "Its trying to manage the ball in the correct spots, and Ive done that the first two days." Woods twice made bogey, both times missing the fairway to the right on No. 14 and No. 7. He finished with a 20-foot birdie putt. Garcia, for two hours, looked like he couldnt miss. His streak began with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-5 second. He stuffed his tee shot into 6 feet on the third, and hit wedge to 8 feet on the fourth. He followed that with his two long birdie putts, made a putt just inside 15 feet for par on the seventh and ended his big run with the 40-footer on No. 8. Garcia also is a past champion, winning a playoff in 2008. "Fortunately for me, Ive managed to play quite decent on this golf course," Garcia said. "So any good thing that you can get in your head, its obviously positive and those kind of things always help. But its a different year. Well see if we can manage to do something similar." ' ' '
