Palmer

Carson Palmer is one of three finalists for FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week honors following his performance in last Thursday's 13-7 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Palmer completed 21 of 32 passes for 234 yards, one touchdown and a passer rating of 97.7 in helping Cincinnati get back into the thick of the AFC playoff race.

Palmer previously was named FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week in Week 11 after he led Cincinnati to victory at New Orleans. He earned the weekly award a league-record five times during the 2005 season.
