The Arizona Cardinals<\/a> lost to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 16-15, their first loss of the season. As one can imagine, they have fallen in new power rankings.<\/p>\n

In USA TODAY’s Week 4 NFL power rankings<\/a> from Nate Davis, the Cardinals fell three spots, going from 13th overall to 16th.<\/p>\n

The loss of RB James Conner to season-ending ankle surgery will likely cost this team dearly in terms of production but most certainly in the leadership department.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals now sit right in the middle of the league. They are ahead of Jacksonville and Denver. They trail Pittsburgh and Minnesota.<\/p>\n

They ranked last in the NFC West, as the LA Rams are fourth overall, while the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are 12th and the 49ers 13th.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals face the Seahawks this week on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
