A sharp performance in the Cardinals’ 40-11 rout of the Colts on Sunday has garnered quarterback Carson Palmer the NFC’s offensive player of the week honors for Week 12.

Palmer, who completed 26-of-37 passes for 314 yards and two TDs against the AFC South-leading Colts, was announced as the recipient of the award on Wednesday by the NFL.

According to the league, Palmer is the first Cardinals quarterback to win NFC offensive player of the week honors since Kurt Warner in 2009.

Palmer has completed 89-of-129 passes for 1,146 yards with eight TDs and two interceptions during the Cardinals’ four-game winning streak.
