Bengals WR Green: Hail Mary catch was 'all luck'
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green says he does not deserve credit for the Hail Mary catch he hauled in on the final play of regulation against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Green caught a 51-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Andy Dalton that bounced off multiple players before landing in the receiver's hands in the end zone.
Was it skill or just good fortune?
“Luck. All luck," Green told Cincinnati.com. “I was in the right spot at the right time and I was just looking for someone to tap the ball so I could catch it. I stood off to the side and watched."
"I was thinking about coming back closer to the ball but I stayed right where I was and the ball found me," Green said. "It would have been a great play had we won.”
The Bengals lost 20-17 on a game-winning field goal by Ravens kicker Justin Tucker.
