“This is a good Cincinnati team we’re going to play. We know we’re a good football team. Our record doesn’t reflect that. Unfortunately, you are what you put on tape. They’re a big-play offense. They can do it all. Everybody now is a big-play offense. Week-in, and week-out, they can beat you in a heartbeat. One play, one throw, one catch. They’re dangerous. They have good weapons.” – linebacker Kevin Burnett on facing the Bengals offense

“As a secondary we definitely have a huge task ahead if us because it’s not only A.J. They have plenty of weapons like tight end (Jermaine) Gresham and the slot receiver (Andrew) Hawkins. They have guys with different traits who can take it the distance at any point in time, so everybody’s going to have to be on their Ps and Qs in that game.” – cornerback Sean Smith on facing Cincinnati wide receiver A.J. Green

“He’s got good accuracy and he likes to get the ball to A.J. own the field. He’s not the most mobile quarterback but sometimes he runs to get the first down so we’ve got to make sure we keep him in the pocket and force him into making some bad throws.” – defensive tackle Randy Starks on defending Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton
