NFC playoff picture: Rams remain 5th but inch closer to Cardinals in NFC West

The Rams beat the Cardinals in Week 14, keeping them as the 5th seed in NFC while putting them one game back in the West.

What a week it was for the Los Angeles Rams again, being able to defeat the Arizona Cardinals on the road in Week 14. With the win over the Cardinals, the Rams comfortably remain the No. 5 seed, but they have thinned the gap between them and Arizona in the NFC West.

Los Angeles is now just one game back from its division rivals for the top spot in the NFC West. Each team has four more games to earn the lead in the division, with the Rams having two NFC West games remaining, while the Cardinals have just one.

Following another positive week from Los Angeles, here is how the NFC playoff picture looks entering Week 15 of the 2021 NFL season.
