Eagles, Cardinals tumble in power rankings after fifth, seventh straight losses
Philadelphia and Arizona both plummet in national rankings after consecutive defeats amid mounting injuries.
What to know
- Eagles dropped to 2-5 with fifth consecutive loss to Cowboys, plummeting to 23rd–29th across power rankings; mounting injuries including Jalen Hurts' absence and Saquon Barkley's fresh back injury have crippled the roster.
- Cardinals also sank to 2-5 following loss to Broncos, with one ranking dropping them eight spots; the team lacks depth after trading away Marvin Harrison Jr. three weeks ago.
- Multiple analysts, including Pete Prisco, question whether the Eagles should consider a fire sale, suggesting both teams may pivot toward sellers at the trade deadline rather than pursuing playoff salvage missions.
“The high of beating the Rams last week went by the wayside as they were blown out by Denver at home Sunday. They just lack the talent to compete week in and week out.”

CBS Sports' Pete Prisco asked directly: "Do they have a fire sale?"
“The injuries have crippled this team, and it's about over. Do they have a fire sale?”
