The BestCarson Palmer, QB, Cardinals
The former Heisman Trophy winner continues to marvel at age 35, playing the best football of his career. He led Arizona to a comeback victory as the Cardinals scored 27 unanswered points. In the process, he matched his season-high with four touchdown passes, giving him 20 through eight games. He added 374 pass yards to crack the 2,000-yard mark for the campaign, and he is on pace to set a career-high in touchdowns and yardage.
