Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Brandon LaFell knows what it takes to win championships.

A few years removed from a Super Bowl ring with the New England Patriots, LaFell didn’t like what he saw from the Bengals on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars — before and after A.J. Green got ejected.

“You have to make a play,” LaFell said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “He’s not on the field. Stop looking around waiting for A.J. to make a play. He’s not on the field now. You go make a play. We definitely have to stand up and be a man and stop letting the guy across from you dominate. Point blank, that’s it.”

It’s a notable criticism from a veteran who knows what he’s talking about. In past weeks, the Bengals themselves haven’t said much publicly but they know the problem — Green is the only one doing the heavy lifting on offense.

Against the Jaguars, the Andy Dalton-led attack once again struggled to get anything going and finished the day with an embarrassing 148 total yards on just 37 plays.

LaFell and the Bengals might not have a choice but to follow through on what he said here if the NFL suspends Green for his violent outburst.

And if Green somehow escapes suspension, the same challenge still awaits the 3-5 Bengals, a team on the brink of losing control of the season.
