Cardinals' Warner king of road this season
by Matt Pitzer , USA TODAY
After throwing five touchdown passes in Sunday's 41-21 dismantling of the Chicago Bears, Warner has 10 touchdown tosses in four road games with two interceptions and a 4-0 record. In four home games, Warner has six TD passes, nine interceptions and a 1-3 mark.
Pro Bowl wideout Larry Fitzgerald posted 123 receiving yards and two TDs, his second 100-yard game of the season vs. four to this point last year.
Also, both Tim Hightower (77 yards) and Chris "Beanie" Wells (72) had season highs in rushing. Carries were split almost equally between the two (15-13 for Hightower). It's a split that's a good bet to continue.
*The curious case of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees continued as he threw for 330 yards but one touchdown. That gives Brees four total TD passes in five games and 13 in the other three.
Even though the Saints' potent offense keeps Brees a virtual must-start, the inconsistency drives fantasy owners nuts.
*Rookie Josh Freeman threw three TD passes in his first start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but don't get too excited. He might be good one day, but he completed less than 50% of his passes and is throwing to a collection of wide receivers that includes Maurice Stovall, Michael Clayton and Sammie Stroughter. That does not inspire confidence.
