It was a perfect throw, a great throw by Carson Palmer.

I've heard Deion Sanders say how he went entire games without getting thrown at. But when they did [throw at him], he was ready and he made the play.

A lot of it was (Carson Palmer) just throwing it up. Sometimes you've just got to cover somebody. At the same time, I guess, since it's a team effort, we didn't get enough pressure on the quarterback.

The age on our team is perfect. When you're old, that experience comes in a lot. You're a little slower, but you're smarter too. With us being so young and having a little experience, and this being the second year with the defense [under coordinator Ron Rivera], we're more focused in and we're a better defense now.

It started building up the year Carson (Palmer) won the Heisman (in 2002),

When I saw Carson Palmer go down, I knew he was done. I didn't think of anything other than his injury. Nothing about the Pro Bowl.
