Arguably the Cincinnati Bengals' best player, wide receiver A.J. Green is iffy for Sunday's playoff game in Indianapolis against the Colts. He didn't practice on Friday and hasn't cleared the league's concussion protocol after suffering the injury in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If Green can't go, the pressure might double for the Bengals to win their first postseason contest since 1990.
The Cincinnati Bengals haven't won an NFL playoff game since January 6, 1990.

Since then, the Bengals have lost all five postseason contests they've played in. That needs to change this weekend.
