Arizona Cardinals Continue Tumbling Down in Week Five NFL Power Rankings

The Arizona Cardinals sit near the bottom of multiple national power rankings following a 36-24 defeat against the New York Giants on Sunday, dropping their record to 1-3. Arizona ranks 29th on ESPN, 27th on Bleacher Report, and 25th on CBS Sports as simple errors continue to hinder head coach Mike LaFleur's team in his debut season.

Kevin Hicks highlights limitations in Arizona's passing attack with quarterback Jacoby Brissett, noting low depth-of-target marks for Michael Wilson and Trey McBride. Hicks also notes defensive vulnerabilities after allowing big plays to Jameis Winston, warning of a difficult seven-game stretch ahead before potentially turning to rookie Carson Beck later in the season.
