Half-Time Report: Carson Palmer helps Arizona Cardinals lead against Pittsburgh Steelers

The Arizona Cardinals are on course to move further clear at the top of the NFC West as they lead the Pittsburgh Steelers 10-3 at the break.

The Cardinals took the first drive and it looked promising after Carson Palmer found John Brown deep for a 45-yard pickup, but they stalled just outside the redzone and a personal foul penalty forced them to punt.

However, Arizona would find the endzone on their very next drive with Palmer lofting it to Michael Floyd for a three-yard touchdown, the wide receiver's first TD of the season.

The Steelers pulled three points back thanks to a field goal, but backup quarterback Michael Vick was pulled from the game with a minor injury for the final few snaps of the drive.

Arizona regained their seven-point lead just before the half as Chandler Catanzaro put up another three points as both teams headed into the locker room.
