Cardinals drop 5 spots in new Touchdown Wire power rankings

The Arizona Cardinals are reaching the end of a miserable season. They currently sit at 4-8 and just suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on a last-minute two-point conversion.

In the latest power rankings from Touchdown Wire’s Mark Lane, the Cardinals dropped five spots and are now listed as the 26th-ranked team in the NFL.

Things continue to spiral out of control for the Cardinals. Toss in Kyler Murray criticizing the offensive scheme against the Los Angeles Chargers, and it’s a recipe that could result in a coaching change at the end of the year.

Kyler Murray’s comments about being “schematically (expletive)” on a fourth-down attempt have since gone viral. Many are reading it as a blatant jab at head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

There was a report from Ian Rapoport on Sunday morning that Kingsbury and Murray had met on several occasions in the previous two weeks in an attempt to mend what had been a tense relationship this season.

While Murray downplayed the report and said there was no tension between the two, the report raised a number of eyebrows, particularly after Murray’s comments on the fourth-down play.

The Cardinals have completely fallen off after being one of the best teams in the NFL at this time last year. They appear on their way to a dramatic change in the team’s leadership if they don’t show some signs of positivity in the coming weeks.

The team is on a bye this week and will return to action on Monday Night Football against the New England Patriots in Week 14 at State Farm Stadium.
