During yesterday's win over St. Louis, A.J. came back in the second half Sunday from a shoulder injury. He caught a seven-yard pass early in the third quarter to put him over 100 receiving yards. He finished with six catches for 115 yards and topped the 1,000-yard mark for the season!
A.J. Green became the 11th NFL rookie since the 1970 merger and first since 2006 to gain 1,000 receiving yards in a season.
