Wilson: Palmer named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Palmer posted a career-high 146.7 passer rating during a 45-10 victory over the Chicago Bears.

He completed 20-of-24 passes (83.3 percent) for 233 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions. His plus-five differential was his career-best and tied a Bengals record set only once previously, by Boomer Esiason against Tampa Bay in 1989.

In the first seven possessions against the Bears, Palmer led the offense to six touchdowns and one field goal.

This is the second AFC Offensive Player of the Week award for Palmer. He won in 2004 for a comeback win at Baltimore. In September 2005, Palmer was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month.
