Palmer

Carson Palmer is one of three finalists for FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week honors following his performance in last Sunday's 31-16 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Palmer completed 14 of 22 passes for 275 yards, three touchdowns and a passer rating of 127.8 in helping Cincinnati even its mark to 5-5 on the season.

Fans can cast their votes from 9 a.m. EST on Tuesday through noon EST on Wednesday to determine the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week. The winners will be announced Wednesday afternoon on NFL.com.

In addition, NFL fans may cast their votes for the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week using Sprint or Nextel wireless service - an opportunity available only to Sprint customers. This fast, convenient voting method involves texting the word FEDEX to short code 7777. Sprint customers will then receive an interactive text message that links fans to the ballot with the six finalists each week. Data and text messaging rates may apply.
