The Arizona Cardinals closed out the NFL Week 9 schedule finally picking up a win. They snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Dallas Cowboys 27-17 on the road. They held the Cowboys, who had scored at least 40 points in all three of their previous home games, to 17 points, and they looked good offensively.
As a result, in the newest NFL power rankings from USA TODAY’s Nate Davis, the Cardinals climbed a few spots.

Arizona Cardinals in latest NFL power rankings
Entering Week 10, the Cardinals are No. 21 overall, having moved up four slots.

But Seattle has climbed all the way up to No. 2, as well as sitting atop the NFC West.
