The Bengals outlasted the Falcons in a high-scoring shootout thanks to A.J. Green's game-winning score.

The Bengals guaranteed they'll retain control of the AFC North division going into Week 5 after winning a high-scoring matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

With seven seconds left in the game, Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton found receiver A.J. Green for a game-winning touchdown to clinch a 37-36 victory. The Bengals improved to 3-1 on the season.

The Falcons dropped to 1-2 despite Matt Ryan throwing for 419 yards and three touchdowns, including two scores to rookie wideout Calvin Ridley, who's hauled in six through four games this season.
