Carson Palmer put up 329 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday but 155 of those yards came on two plays including an 80 TD Pass to Larry Fitzgerald and a 75 Yard TD Pass to John Brown.  Palmer was also posted a sub par 47% completion percentage while averaging just 7.8 yards per play.  When you break down the numbers it wasn’t a great game but overall you got to hand it to the veteran.
