| (MySportsbook) - The Arizona Cardinals headed into last week's bye in first place in the NFC West, but a perfect weekend by their fellow division inhabitants has tightened up the standings. An early edge for the top spot in the division is on the line in Seattle this weekend, as a pair of 3-2 clubs in the Cardinals and Seahawks clash at Qwest Field. The Cardinals were riding high after a 30-20 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in Week 5, a triumph that sent them into a bye week |

It was Palmer's first three-interception game since the Arizona Cardinals picked off four of his passes in November of the 2007 campaign. Cincinnati is seventh in passing, averaging 248.0 yards per contest, and will try to crack Atlanta's 25th-rated secondary. Owens (31 receptions, 476 yards, 2 TD) needs one more touchdow |

| - The New Orleans Saints played like a team with a nasty hangover in Sunday's 31-6 road rout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You might have even called it a Super Bowl hangover. One week after being saddled with an embarrassing double-digit loss to the Arizona Cardinals - a team that was trotting out an undrafted rookie quarterback making his first NFL start - New Orleans righted the ship with a formulaic beat-down of a Bucs squad that was a surprising 3-1 and looking to validate its early-season success by taking |

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - A funny thing happened while the Arizona Cardinals took the weekend off: The other three teams in the supposedly awful NFC West won. Most significantly, Seattle beat the Bears 23-20 in Chicago to improve to 3-2, tied with Arizona atop the division standings. That puts sole possession of first place at stake when the Cardinals venture into the Northwest to face the Seahawks on Sunday. Injured Arizona wide receivers Steve Breaston and Early Doucet are expected back this week, as is insid |

It looked like the mismatch of the century when Max Hall, the rookie from BYU, was scheduled by the Cardinals to make his first career NFL start against the reigning Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees and the defending champion Saints.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Kerry Rhodes has found a rebirth in Arizona, where his off-the-field Hollywood interests have taken a back seat to his fast start with the Arizona Cardinals. Rhodes said after Wednesday's practice that those who have criticized him as being distracted by his music video and other show business interests will see that he's ``a great player in this league.''

However, Carney missed a short field goal attempt that would have give the Saints the lead late in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 46-year-old connected on five-of-six field goal tries and all three extra points in his two games after returning for his third stint with the team. Carney is the second all-time leading scorer in Saints history with 768 points and has amassed |

| (MySportsbook) - Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said the play was a mistake, a wrong formation that somehow turned into something right. With no open receiver, quarterback Max Hall, in his first NFL start, took off and was nearing the goal line before getting crushed by a train of New Orleans Saints players. Hall lost his helmet, lost the ball. The Cardinals, though, never lost their heads. Offensive tackle Levi Brown picked up the fumble and rumbled into the end zone for a game-tying score late |
