CINCINNATI (AP) – Two wacky minutes dragged the Cincinnati Bengals back to the bad old days.
The defending AFC North champions looked anything but title-ready during a 24-21 loss to the young and inexperienced Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who won only three games last season.
Carson Palmer threw two late interceptions on Sunday. The coaching staff got roundly second-guessed for not sticking to its strengths. And the day began and ended with off-field distractions.
The Bengals headed into their bye week at 2-3, concluding what was supposed to be the softest part of their schedule. They know the season could get ugly fast.
