Downward spiral (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tailspin

(Other definitions for tailspin that I've seen before include "confused state" , "Spiral dive of aircraft in trouble" , "awful state" , "Spiral aeroplane dive" , "State of rapidly increasing panic" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the Universal.
