CINCINNATI — Bengals owner Mike Brown spoke to the media on Monday with training camp set to start this week.
The soon-to-be 89-year-old admitted he made a mistake last season when he picked Joe Burrow up in his golf cart at the start of practice when the star quarterback was dealing with a calf injury ahead of their Week 3 matchup with the Rams.
"I try to stay away enough that I don't get in the way. I don't want to be a problem for the coaches," Brown said. "In that particular moment I overstepped and did a dumb thing. I was convinced he shouldn't play and he looked like he wanted to play in that game and I went out there to tell him he wasn't going to play. I was gonna make sure he wasn't going to play, where upon he played ... I still feel a little bit shame faced about it."
Not only did Burrow start against the Rams on Monday Night Football, he led Cincinnati to a 19-16 win, completing 26-of-49 passes for 259 yards.
