I went ahead and looked it up.
Antonio Brown
- targeted on 32.7% of all throws (yikes..If Dalton did this, people would rip him for forcing it. Maybe this is why Ben had an awful INT%?)
- 590 total pass attempts
AJ Green
- targeted on 26.1% of all throws
- 505 pass attempts
By that %, if the Bengals passed it 590 times, AJ's numbers could've looked like this:
154 targets
100 catches
1510 yards
12 TDs
So he'd be closer to AB's production, but not quite there. Like I said though, the Steelers really focus heavily on getting the ball to Brown, whereas the Bengals focused more on spreading the ball last year. I would seriously take our passing offense over Pittburgh's last year though. Dalton was much more efficient and less INT prone than Ben. You could make an argument that this could've had something to do with how much each team forced it to the #1 guy.
It would be interesting to see the INT numbers for each receiver.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
