NFC West standings: Seahawks suffer division’s first loss

The 49ers, Cardinals and Rams all start the season 2-0, while the Seahawks sit in last place in the division at 1-1.

The NFC West is largely considered the best division in the NFL this year. The entire division went undefeated in Week 1 and almost did again in Week 2.

The Seattle Seahawks suffered an overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans, giving them the only blemish in the division.

So there are now three 2-0 teams, but the San Francisco 49ers are currently the division leaders because both of their wins this season have been over conference opponents. The Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams each have only one conference win. The Cardinals hold a slight tiebreaker over the Rams because of a better point differential.

Here are the current standings in the division:

  • San Francisco 49ers, 2-0 (2-0 in conference)
  • Arizona Cardinals, 2-0 (1-0 in conference)
  • Los Angeles Rams, 2-0 (1-0 in conference)
  • Seattle Seahawks, 1-1

Read on for what happened in the division’s games on Sunday.
