Carson Palmer leads Cardinals to big win over Cowboys

We're beyond the point of intervention with road squads.Look, it's obviously difficult to get a win on the road in the NFL — the crowds are hostile, the sleeping conditions Austin Barnes Jersey aren't the comfortable, deluxe mattre ses and Egyptian cotton sheets players have at home, and the locker rooms are never quite as spacious and cozy as those at home. But here in Week 9 it's like a relationship on the rocks, and we're going one of two ways: demand change, or learn to love them for who they are.Well, they're teams away from home, and they struggled again this week. Visiting squads won three of 11 games on Sunday, including a that was a few eyelashes and droplets of forearm sweat away from being a crushing lo s to the .But we love them for who they are, because amid the despair of defeat, there exist silver linings and bright spots, both big and small. Now that I've captured your heartstrings, here are the best profe sional football players who suited up and played the game on a field that didn't feature their team's markings. Greatest on the Road ...Carson Palmer, Arizona CardinalsIn accordance with a theme that has prevailed throughout most of his career, struggled mightily on Sunday. Dallas was encouraged by Weeden's acceptable outing in relief of last week, but fans didn't get a full four quarters of Weeden — which is bad Weeden.The above paragraph undoubtedly aided the. But we also need to give credit to, who shook off an early interception and a bludgeoning from the Dallas defense to complete 22 of 34 pa ses for 249 yards and three touchdowns. 's father can, because for the second straight week, Palmer and the younger Fitzgerald connected for five or more completions. They're reestablishing a rapport that clearly bodes well for Arizona, but quite frankly, Palmer and the will be fine either way.Point in case: Palmer completed Kirk Gibson Jersey at least one pa s to eight different receivers, including by Jr., who's found himself a nice role in the desert. They also grabbed the seat atop the throne of the NFC, a place they haven't owned this late in the season since 1974, back when they were located in St. Louis, played at the original Busch Stadium and Barry White spent a week atop the with his hit single «Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe.»Also considered ...Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers is really, really good.Simplistic as it may sound, he was undoubtedly the best player on the field on Sunday. Unfortunately, the rest of his team isn't so great, resulting in. But the rookie wideout dominated all defensive backs, beating fellow rookie down the sideline, trapping ' arm in his vice grip touchdown grasp and claiming ownership of 's name all afternoon.At one point in the second half, it appeared as though offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo was resorting to just to sing it up to Evans, who had a significant height advantage on every defensive back except Gilbert. It worked, and Evans almost singlehandedly won the game for Tampa Bay.Sadly for Zach McKinstry Jersey fans acro s the nation, the rookie got nailed with an offensive pa s interference call on a crucial fourth down with the game hanging in the balance. One errant pa s in the direction of later and the fell to 1-7 on the year. It's been a rough season for the Pewter Pirates, but they can find solace in the future of Evans.Mark Sanchez, Philadelphia EaglesIf you told me would have landed in this column last season, I would have scoffed and dismi sed you as a delusional fan.If you told me Sanchez would have landed in this column this season, I might not have even laughed, because two elements of this equation are different: Sanchez is now an Eagle, and was backing Fernando Valenzuela Jersey up. No disrespect to, but something about his play screamed whispered fluke, and so far this season, he's had more than a few additional mistakes in comparison to his 27 to 2 touchdown-to-interception ratio in 2013.It's obviously not Foles' fault he was injured, but I thought Sanchez might see the field at some point this season, and he might surprise people. Did I have the cheat sheet of preseason football? You bet. And while Sanchez improbably led the to a road win over the with two touchdowns on 15-of-22 pa sing for 202 yards, he also reminded us he's with his two interceptions — although wasn't his fault.This spot to wide receiver, who is far and away the most consistent member of Philadelphia's offensive attack. He had a to seal the win, too. But Sanchez came on in relief, and hadn't seen the field during the regular season since Dec. 30, 2012, when he was with the .Quarterbacks can give you all of the lip service about preparing like they're playing each week, but when you don't think you're going to play, it's natural to relax on Pedro Baez Jersey the sideline — or, if you're legend Terrell Davis, you'll throw down on hot dogs on the sideline — so for Sanchez to take the field and immediately connect with Maclin on, that's impre sive. That and the rest of his day earns the artist formerly known as the Sanchize this spot.
