Cardinals extend lead in NFC West as both Rams, 49ers lose in Week 9

The Cardinals improved to 8-1 as they were the only team in the NFC West to win in Week 9.

The Arizona Cardinals bounced back from their first loss of the season in Week 8 and remain in first place in the NFC West. In fact, they were the only NFC West team to win in Week 9 and extended their lead in the division.

Here is what the standings in the division look after nine weeks of the season.

  1. Arizona Cardinals, 8-1 (3-0 in division)
  2. Los Angeles Rams, 7-2 (1-1 in division)
  3. Seattle Seahawks, 3-5 (1-1 in division)
  4. San Francisco 49ers, 3-5 (0-3 in division)

The Cardinals now have a one-game lead over the Rams in the standings and hold the head-to-head tiebreaker with them, so it is like having a two-game lead at the moment.

Let’s look at what happened in Week 9 with each team and what is coming up in Week 10.
