Cardinals tumble 2 spots in Week 6 power rankings
The Arizona Cardinals finally got a little boost in Touchdown Wire’s power rankings over the last couple of weeks. However, after a 34-20 loss to the struggling Cincinnati Bengals, they went back down toward the bottom.
Jarrett Bailey’s new power rankings for Touchdown Wire in Week 6 have the Cardinals dropping two spots to No. 28.
I don’t know how many wrestling comps I can make for the Cardinals, but I’ll be damned if I stop now. Last week was Spike Dudley, this week is Chad Gable in every match against Gunther over the last several weeks. He keeps getting closer and closer to getting the win, and he won the fans over in the process.
The Cardinals did have a first-half lead over Cincinnati, who entered Week 5 looking nothing like the Super Bowl contending team they were expected to be. Their trip to the Arizona sun apparently got them right. Joe Burrow threw three touchdown passes to Ja’Marr Chase, who caught 15 passes for 192 yards.
The Cardinals are certainly not a good team yet. They prove each week that they are not a terrible team. They are, though, overwhelmed by teams with significantly better talent.
