Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer feels the fans' agony and wrath, and he wants to ease their pain. The only way to accomplish the feat? Win - starting Sunday at Kansas City.  The Chiefs (2-3) have scored only 63 points in five games, and 30 came in a 30-16 victory at San Diego on Sept. 30. The Bengals (1-3) have played one less game than K.C., but they've out-scored the Chiefs, 106-63.
Palmer addressed the fans during the club's bye week:

"Our fans...they've been through so much in this city, and so many losing seasons. You love your fans to expect you to win. Our fans expect us to win. They're unhappy when we don't and they should be unhappy when we don't win.
We want to do nothing but please them and make them scream on third down when the opposing offense is on the field and root for us when we score. They'll continue to do so and they'll stick by us.  "Since I've been here (2005), they've done nothing but stick by us and I don't think anything's going to change. Our fans understand football. It's important to them. This game, this team, they take pride in it. We want to give them something to be proud of.  "All we're worried about is getting back to 2-3 and we'll work from there."
