6. Arizona Cardinals (LW: 4)
It’s starting to hurt. As far as the Cardinals were able to go without Carson Palmer to this point may be as far as they will finish. Losers of two straight games, the Cardinals have now fallen into a three-way tie for the NFC’s top seed, and their lead in the NFC West has dwindled to one game. With the Chiefs next on the slate, followed by three division games, Arizona might be on the verge of losing everything that their previously 9-1 record had virtually locked up.
