NFC playoff picture: Rams pull even with Cardinals in division but still sit 5th

The Rams are now tied for the division lead with the Cardinals after extending their winning streak to three games.

Week 15 felt like it lasted 10 days, especially for the Los Angeles Rams with all of their COVID-19 issues. But as difficult of a week as it was, they actually benefited from the results.

After beating the Seahawks on Tuesday night and seeing the Cardinals and Buccaneers both lose in Week 15, the Rams are now tied with Arizona, Tampa Bay and Dallas at 10-4.

The Cardinals still own the tiebreaker over the Rams in the division, but Los Angeles is now in position to potentially host a playoff game in the first round if it can overtake Arizona.

Here’s a look at the current playoff picture entering Week 16, which is quite different than it was a week ago.
