Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron struggled early during training camp, causing some alarmists to overreact about the team's 53-man roster. He's starting to hilariously prove 'em wrong.
AJ McCarron secured the shotgun snap and pivoted on his left foot, saturated by another beautiful Cincinnati afternoon. It was the movement of a quarterback conducting a play-action pass, but there wasn't a running back; perhaps the idea was to catch unaware second-team linebackers and defensive backs to account for his movements. Once McCarron spun around to survey the field, he found the speedy Mario Alford sprinting across the field to haul in the 24-yard touchdown.
