NFC West all tied at 1-1 after Week 2

After going 1-3 in Week 1, the NFC West went 3-1 in Week 2. Now everyone in the division has the same record.

The NFC West looked bad in Week 1, as the Seattle Seahawks were the only team to pick up a win. That changed in Week 2. The division went 3-1 in Week 2 and now has all four teams tied with a 1-1 record.

This is what the standings look like after two games in the NFC West.

  1. San Francisco 49ers, 1-1 (1-0 division record)
  2. Los Angeles Rams, 1-1 (1-0 conference record)
  3. Arizona Cardinals, 1-1
  4. Seattle Seahawks, 1-1 (0-1 division record)

The 49ers technically are the division leaders right now because they are the only team with a division win. The Rams are next because their one win is a conference win.

The Cardinals have neither had a conference game nor a division game, which is why they are ahead of the Seahawks, who are 0-1 in divisional games.

Here is what happened on Sunday and what is coming up in Week 3.

NFC West could go winless in Week 1

The Cardinals, Rams and 49ers all lost their openers. The Seahawks play Monday night and are not expected to win.

The Arizona Cardinals started off their season with a 44-21 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. But even with the loss, they have not fallen behind in the NFC West.

Through Sunday’s games, the division usually considered the best in the league, has gone winless and is expected to finish the week with four 0-1 teams.

The Los Angeles Rams started the season with a 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The San Francisco 49ers lost their season opener 19-10 to the Chicago Bears, while the Cardinals lost 44-21 to the Chiefs at home.

The final game of Week 1 has the Seattle Seahawks facing the Denver Broncos at home. Denver is expected to win that game as it will be quarterback Russell Wilson’s first game against the team he played a decade for.

So while the Week 1 loss for the Cardinals was bad, they aren’t in a bad place in the division.
