There’s a new Wildcat in town.

In August, Bengals receiver Mohamed Sanu said he can throw better than Tim Tebow. On Sunday, he proved it.

On the first play from scrimmage during Sunday’s game between the Bengals and Redskins, Sanu lined up in the shotgun, with quarterback Andy Dalton split wide.

Sanu faked a handoff and then fired a 48-yard rainbow to A.J. Green, who streaked down the field from the slot, caught the ball in stride, and ran it in for a 73-yard touchdown.

And 17 in to the game, it was 7-0 Bengals.

Your move, Tebow.
