The NFC West did not have a great week in Week 10. They did, though, have one great game on national television. The division went 1-3 on the weekend but the Monday night game between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers was fantastic. The 49ers lost and no longer are undefeated.
Here is what the standings look like in the division now.
- San Francisco 49ers, 8-1
- Seattle Seahawks, 8-2
- Los Angeles Rams, 5-4
- Arizona Cardinals, 3-6-1
Seattle and San Francisco battled Monday night. It took all 10 minutes of overtime, but the Seahawks beat them 27-24 on a field goal as time expired in the extra period. Both teams had defensive touchdowns. Both Jimmy Garoppolo and Russell Wilson threw interceptions. Both had their No. 1 receiver get hurt in the game.
The Rams continued to underwhelm. They lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-12 and now have more injuries to worry about. Center Brian Allen is out for the rest of the season and tackle Rob Havenstein and receiver Brandin Cooks are hurt.
The Cardinals lost 30-27 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, their third loss in a row. They scored at least 25 points for the fifth time in the last six games but the defense failed to stop the Bucs.
In Week 11, the Cardinals will travel to Santa Clara to take on the 49ers for the second time in three weeks. The Rams will host the equally disappointing Chicago Bears and play in the Sunday night game.
Seattle enters its bye week.
