Bengals 38, Dolphins 25
MIAMI - Four days into the Bill Parcells era, the Miami Dolphins remain wretched.
Miami allowed 316 yards passing by Carson Palmer, gave up a touchdown on a fumble return and staggered to the end of the worst season in franchise history with a loss to Cincinnati.
The Dolphins became the eighth team to finish 1-15 and flopped in their audition for Parcells. He started work Thursday as executive vice president of football operations and watched the game from a press box suite with retired Green Bay Packers general manager Ron Wolf.
