NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: 49ers, Texans make statements as contenders

21. Arizona Cardinals (25)
Without question, Sunday’s win over the Atlanta Falcons was easily the most impressive win of Kyler Murray‘s young career, and the Arizona Cardinals have every reason in the world to be thrilled over what the quarterback’s future holds.
Back in April, the Cardinals faced a difficult decision with the top overall pick in the draft after using a first rounder on Josh Rosen the year before, but Murray clearly appears to be the better option under center.
Thanks to Murray’s explosive style of play, Arizona is currently riding a two-game winning streak heading into Week 7, and could even find a way to increase the streak to three with another victory over the New York Giants.
Watching Murray throw for 340 yards with three touchdowns during the thrilling 34-33 win over the Falcons shows just how special of a player he truly is, and the best part is the Oklahoma product is only scratching the surface of his true potential.
What’s even more crazy to think about for Arizona is depending how next weekend plays out, the Cardinals could move into third place ahead of the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West standings, which seems insane to even think about.
