Carson Palmer will take care of the ball

After giving away the ball four times this past Sunday, Palmer will come out with better focus and a better game plan.  The Cardinals and their fans will be counting on it.

The Rams still are a formidable defense but after throwing four fourth quarter interceptions against the Bills, I can’t see Palmer having a second consecutive subpar game.

I’m not sure Palmer will get 300 yards passing but they won’t need it if they get balance.  What will help Palmer in the case of protecting the ball will be the receivers running the correct routes.

The Cardinals can not rely on throwing the ball deep two out of every three plays.  While it is fun to watch, the constant punting and turning the ball over is not worth it.

Palmer will still air it out from time to time but as long as they go in with a balanced game plan, then Palmer shouldn’t worry about interceptions.  He needs to get back to the quarterback and MVP candidate he was up until the last couple of weeks of the 2015 season.
