Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer had one of the worst days of his career the last time he was on the field.

Palmer turned the ball over six times in a 49-15 loss to the Panthers in the NFC championship game, ending what had been a great season individually and as a team on a very bad note. Palmer said after the game that he felt like he let the team down, but says now that he hasn’t let the sour finish linger into the offseason.

“You just turn the page,” Palmer said, via the Arizona Republic. “You have to. There is no dwelling. There is no feeling sorry for yourself. There is no locking yourself in a closet. I’ve played 150-something games. You can’t let one game define you. You just have to move on.”

Palmer had a particularly bad day against Carolina, but it’s not the first time he’s come up short in the postseason. That’s left a question about whether Palmer will ever get the big playoff success that’s missing from his resume, something he calls “a good pressure” as he prepares for his 14th NFL season with an Arizona team that again looks built to compete at the highest level.
