NFL power rankings: Arizona Cardinals fall 3 spots after Week 9 loss

The Arizona Cardinals came down from their Week 8 comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys with a 17-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Now, after the loss, they have lost quarterback Gardner Minshew and receiver Michael Wilson for the rest of the season to injuries.

Where does that leave them in the latest NFL power rankings from USA TODAY's Nate Davis?

They fell three spots from No. 23 to No. 26.

They sure could use Jacoby Brissett about now − but let him go to Baltimore days before Gardner Minshew II was lost for the season. The Cards might also (kinda) want Marvin Harrison Jr. back, too, after WR1 Michael Wilson suffered a season-ending neck injury.

No Minshew and no Brissett means it is now time for rookie Carson Beck, the player fans have wanted to see most in a season most expected to be bad.

Now that is here, but he won't have Harrison, Wilson or Jeremiyah Love. He doesn't have Paris Johnson protecting his blind side, either, and his first start will come against the Rams who got pass rusher Myles Garrett back, and he had three sacks on Sunday.

It is good Beck gets to play, but it might be bad watching him when all his weapons except Trey McBride are gone.

NFC West and Week 10 power rankings

As for the rest of the NFC West, the San Francisco 49ers are No. 1, where they were a week ago.

The Seahawks, after their win over the Cardinals, remained ninth.

The Rams, the Cardinals' next opponent, remained at No. 12.
