NEW YORK (AP) – There’s a new No. 1 in the AP Pro 32 power rankings.

The Arizona Cardinals moved to the top spot on Tuesday, replacing Carolina after the Panthers lost for the first time this season.

The Cardinals received 10 of the 12 first-place votes in balloting by media members who regularly cover the NFL.

“The Cardinals are peaking at the right time, and they’ve still got a shot at the No. 1 seed (in the NFC),” Newsday’s Bob Glauber said.

“Carson Palmer is very much in the conversation for MVP honors, as well as Comeback Player of the Year,” he said.
