Here are the top takeaways and highest-graded players from Arizona’s 28-3 victory over the New York Jets.
Quarterback grade: Carson Palmer, 74.6
Palmer picks it up in second half
Carson Palmer shook off a sub-par first half, and had an efficient second half to complement the Cardinals’ ground game on long second-half drives that broke the game open. Although he was 0-1 on the deep balls that we were accustomed to last season, he was 9-10 on balls thrown between 10 and 19 yards including a touchdown in the back of the end zone to Michael Floyd.
