GLENDALE, Ariz. – Carson Palmer returned from a five-week absence to throw two touchdown passes, and the Arizona Cardinals beat Washington 30-20 on Sunday, the Redskins' fourth straight loss and 13th in 14 games.

Larry Fitzgerald caught six passes for a season-high 98 yards and his first touchdown of the year for the Cardinals (4-1), who bounced back from a 41-20 drubbing at Denver.

Kirk Cousins was 24 for 38 for 354 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson for the Redskins (1-5), but threw three fourth-quarter interceptions.

Palmer had not played since damaging a nerve in his throwing shoulder in the season-opening win over San Diego and was not announced as the starter until just before kickoff.

Arizona's Chandler Catanzaro kicked field goals of 33, 49 and 37 yards.
