Carson Palmer's Achilles Heel: His Finger

USA Today- Mark J. Rebilas

Could Carson Palmer’s seemingly minor right index finger injury be a part of his streaky performance?

The Arizona Cardinals came out on top with a spectacular finish in the divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. However, the play of their quarterback was at times less than spectacular. Carson Palmer had missed a significant number of seemingly easy passes last Saturday. In fact if it weren’t for the Packers’ dropped interceptions to bail him out, Palmer could’ve almost thrown the game away. And although he, along with the rest of the Cardinals offense, did a number of good things as well, it would be unreasonable to say that fate didn’t play a big part in this win.
