Cardinals drop in Week 5 power rankings, but are ahead of Bengals

After a 27-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks was a blow to the Arizona Cardinals, dropping them to 0-3-1 on the season. As a result, in the latest USA TODAY power rankings for Week 5, they have dropped a spot.

They now sit at No. 29.

Write Nate Davis questions the Cardinals’ new offensive scheme.

 So … can you still dub your offense an “Air Raid” attack when you’re averaging fewer than 5 yards per play? Just sayin’

The offense has struggled to score points. It has mostly moved the ball well until the red zone. The Cardinals are not taking shots down the field in recent weeks. Of course, when they have, receivers haven’t made plays.

There is a silver lining. The Cardinals play the 0-4 Cincinnati Bengals this weekend and they are ranked behind the Cardinals at No. 30.

Someone will have to win that game, right?
