Cincinnati Bengals defeat Chiefs
23-10.
Now it’s Carson Palmer’s turn to return the kindness and reach out to Trent Green.
When Palmer went down last January with a devastating knee injury, Green was one of the first to call the Cincinnati quarterback. Although the two barely knew each other, Green offered words of encouragement, advice drawn upon his own experience with career-threatening knee problems.
Now, on the day Palmer made a triumphant comeback by leading the Bengals to a 23-10 victory over Kansas City, Green was the one rushed to a hospital.
A brutal hit by Cincinnati’s Robert Geathers — which the Chiefs expect to be reviewed by the league office — left the Kansas City quarterback unconscious on the turf. The game was delayed 11 minutes while he was carefully carted away on a stretcher.
