GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) -Carson Palmer had a completion and an interception on the opening drive of the Cincinnati Bengals’ training camp scrimmage, played under an airborne reminder of fans’ discontent.
The Bengals went 4-11-1 last season, when Palmer missed a dozen games with a severe elbow injury. He was 3 for 4 for 36 yards with the interception during the annual training camp scrimmage on Friday.
Early during the scrimmage, a small plane flew overhead towing a banner that read: “101-187-1 … HIRE A GM!” That’s the Bengals’ record since 1991, when Mike Brown took control of the team after his father’s death.
Brown functions as the team’s de facto general manager. He was sitting on a patio next to the press box, watching the scrimmage, when the banner flew overhead.
