32. Arizona Cardinals (28)

The Arizona Cardinals are a complete mess as they drop down to the No. 32 team in these 2018 NFL Power Rankings. At 1-6, there’s really nothing to brag about for them, but Week 7 was a new low. On Thursday Night Football, they were embarrassed to the tune of a 45-10 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Arizona was so bad offensively that they fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy after the game and are replacing him with former quarterback Byron Leftwich. It remains to be seen how that will play out, but up till now, there’s nothing about this team to believe in.

Quarterback Josh Rosen threw three picks in their last game and looked lost for most the game. His inability to get defenses to respect the pass have had a profound impact on running back David Johnson, who seems to be a shell of himself.

Not all is on Rosen if we are being honest. The receivers have done nothing to help him out, just like they did nothing to help Sam Bradford before him.

It’s gotten so bad that new head coach Steve Wilks is already on the hot seat in the desert. Not exactly what they were hoping for when the season kicked off.
