A.J. Green caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from Andy Dalton with seven seconds left, allowing Cincinnati to pull out a dramatic 37-36 victory over the Falcons.

It ended with Julio Jones catching a 49-yard Hail Mary from Matt Ryan but only to the Cincinnati 11 as safety Clayton Fejedelem secured the tackle.
