1. After a week of speculation and he-said, she-said over Carson Palmer's unceremonious departure from Cincinnati in 2011, the Cardinals quarterback finally stuck it to his former team -- it just took a while. Palmer got off to an uncharacteristically slow start, tossing two picks in the first quarter alone. However, he got going in the second quarter with a beautiful touchdown pass to Darren Fells and then continued to light up the Bengals secondary in the second half en route to a 317-yard, four-touchdown performance.
Still going unrecognized in the MVP debate, Palmer now leads the league in touchdown passes (27) -- Tom Brady (24) looks to surge back ahead on Monday night -- and has moved the Cardinals against two dominant secondaries two weeks in a row.
