Tyler Boyd Praises A.J. Green Following Big Week Against Jaguars

The duo played together in Cincinnati for five seasons.

CINCINNATI — Former Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green had his first 100-yard game as a member of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. 

The 33-year-old compiled five receptions for 112 yards in a 31-19 win over the Jaguars. The Cardinals are 3-0 and tied for first place in the NFC West. 

Green's performance caught the attention of Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd.

"I was happy for him, seeing him go five (catches) for 112 (yards). I hit him up instantly after the game and congratulated him," Boyd said. "It's always good seeing him be successful. I always knew he had more in the tank."

Green's big day came against the Jaguars, who the Bengals just happen to be playing on Thursday night. 

"I had to talk to him right after the game because I had seen that [Green's big game]. I was trying to figure out how the [Jaguars] defense was," Boyd said. "We were just chomping it up. We've still got to prepare because whatever they did for them, they're probably going to do different for us. It's always a different game plan ... Hopefully, we'll have a better game plan than what they had and come out with the victory.”

Cincinnati is obviously happy with their trio of wide receivers, including star rookie Ja'Marr Chase, who's off to an historic star to his NFL career. 

Even though that's the case, it's good to see Green get off to a fast start with his new team. He has 10 receptions for 181 yards and one touchdown in three games for the Cardinals. He's on pace to finish with 56 catches for 1,025 yards and six touchdowns for Arizona.
