NFL power rankings Week 3: comparing with Elliot Harrison
Dennis Wierzbicki-USA TODAY Sports
2-0. Arizona Cardinals. 4. player. 32. <p><strong>Harrison: 3</strong></p> <p>Harrison has the Cards in the top three, but I’m not quite ready to put them there. Nothing wrong with a No. 4 ranking heading into the last week of September play.</p><div class=. NFC West
Any and all concern about Carson Palmer returning from that torn ACL has been settled. The 35-year-old has something in common with two of the quarterbacks ranked ahead of him: defying age. Through two games, Palmer has compiled a 124.4 quarterback rating. Another Cardinal doing a good job of staying young is Larry Fitzgerald, who exploded for 112 yards and a hatrick of touchdowns on eight catches against the Bears (his first career three-score game, actually).
A two-game homestand against the 49ers and Rams isn’t scaring anyone in Arizona right now. These birds are the best team in the NFC West, no if’s, and’s or but’s about it.
