Arizona falls only one spot after their 44-22 loss to Seattle.
The Arizona Cardinals snapped their five-game losing streak in Week 10, granting fans a brief reprieve from how bad things have been. However, after a disastrous 44-22 road loss to the Seattle Seahawks, frustration has set back in.
However, in terms of the latest NFL power rankings from USA TODAY’s Nate Davis, little has changed.
The Cardinals, who moved up to No. 21 after their win in Dallas, only dropped one spot.
NFL power rankings: Cardinals fall to No. 22
At least they don’t have to see the Seahawks again this year, the Cards just getting toyed with amid their ninth straight loss to the NFC West’s fiercer birds.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett was sacked five times and hit 10. Twice he fumbled the ball and twice the Seahawks recovered and returned those fumbles for touchdowns, part of a 35-0 first-half onslaught.
In four starts, Brissett has been sacked 18 times and hit 45. At that pace, if he plays in the rest of the Cardinals’ games, he will have been sacked 54 times, more in just 12 games than he was sacked in 2017 when he started 15 games and was sacked a league-leading 52 times.
Things do not look good moving forward, as they face San Francisco, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and the Rams in the next four weeks.
