20 Oct
Summary
- 49ers extend NFC West lead, now 6-0 after Week 6 win.
- Cardinals move out of last place, ahead of the Rams.
- Rams, considered Super Bowl favorites, now sit last.
The San Francisco 49ers solidified their dominance in the NFC West by improving to a 6-0 record following a Week 6 victory. This win extended their division lead. The past week's games, however, dramatically reshuffled the lower half of the standings.
The Arizona Cardinals, previously in last place, managed to overtake the Los Angeles Rams. This shift was secured through tiebreakers, including a head-to-head victory and a better division record.
The Rams, widely considered Super Bowl contenders, have unexpectedly fallen to the bottom of the NFC West. Their Week 6 loss to the Cardinals contributed to this surprising turn of events, highlighting the competitive nature of the division.
Looking ahead to Week 7, the 49ers face the Atlanta Falcons, while the Seahawks host the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cardinals will play the Denver Broncos, and the Rams will visit the Las Vegas Raiders.
