Palmer sharp with 127.1 passer rating

What injury? Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer led a 13-play, 90-yard drive, capping the possession with a 33-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Houshmandzadeh. More importantly, Palmer took two hits and bounced back up. He was hit on an incompletion by defensive tackle Kendrick Allen. Then, on a 14-yard completion to Houshmandzadeh, Palmer was hit in the legs by defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins and spun forward as he fell to the ground. Again, Palmer popped up.

In three possessions, midway through the second quarter, Palmer was 6-for-10 passing for 85 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He ran once for 11 yards. His passer rating is an A-plus 127.1.
