No, he didn't. He wasn't pressed. The DB was 10 yards off the LOS. If AJ runs through the defender while he was being face-guarded, he draws the PI flag whether he catches it or not. Instead, he just waited to see what happened.
Many people on here won't accept any criticism of AJ. For a top paid WR, I don't understand how he gets a pass in games where he seemingly is disinterested and barely contributes. If he is doubled, fine, that helps the rest of the offense. However, it seems that a good number of the better CBs in the league (like the ones he will see in the playoffs) are shutting him down.
If that isn't a concern to anyone, start practicing your excuses for a first round playoff exit. Maybe he should be put in motion more. Maybe he needs to learn a better release. Whatever it is, the Bengals need him to be there in the postseason. I saw Dalton answer the bell against a tremendous pass rush, on the road, in a key game. I need to see AJ do the same.
