If Andy Dalton and Marvin Lewis are going to win the first playoff games of their careers, they're going to have to do it without the services of A.J. Green.
The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, having not properly completed the NFL-mandated concussion protocol on Saturday.

Green suffered a concussion in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and didn't make enough progress through testing to be able to play in the wildcard game on Sunday after being downgraded to doubtful on Friday.
Green missed three games with injury this season, catching 69 passes for 1,041 yards and six touchdown catches.
Dalton has lost his first three playoff starts, and Lewis is 0-5 in the postseason in his career.
