The Arizona Cardinals are ranked 31st in the latest NFL power rankings following a 45-21 defeat to the Detroit Lions. This loss marks their fourth consecutive defeat, with the team's defense allowing over 30 points in four straight games. The Cardinals scored on their opening drive against the Lions but struggled to maintain offense afterward, going three-and-out five times in a row. Next, Arizona will face the 2-3 Los Angeles Rams, who are considered one of the league's top teams. They must improve to avoid deepening their poor standing.
