Arizona Cardinals news: Cardinals see minor drop in Week 5 NFL power rankings

The Arizona Cardinals experienced a minor decline in their standing after a disappointing Week 4 performance, slipping from 28th to 29th in ESPN’s latest power rankings. The team’s struggles at quarterback have come into sharper focus following a loss to the New York Giants, where Jacoby Brissett’s fourth-down interception sealed the defeat.

The Cardinals, now under first-year head coach Mike LaFleur, have shown flashes of competitiveness but remain inconsistent, particularly in high-pressure moments. A pick-six on fourth-and-goal underscored the team’s ongoing issues with turnovers and execution, leaving the locker room focused on reducing costly mistakes.

While the Cardinals have proven capable of challenging top-tier opponents, finding that week-to-week reliability—starting with quarterback play—will be critical to reversing their recent trend.
