AJ to A.J.!
With Andy Dalton ruled out with a thumb injury, AJ McCarron wasted little time throwing the first touchdown pass of his career.
It was a 66-yard bomb to A.J. Green.
The only problem? Green celebrated by punting the ball into the crowd. McCarron might have liked to keep that ball as a memento.

Somehow, Green wasn't penalized for the celebratory punt.
