The NFC West wrapped up Week 11 going 2-1 and nothing essentially changing in the standings. The San Francisco 49ers remain in first place and the Arizona Cardinals remain in last place.
Here is how the division looks after Week 11:
- San Francisco 49ers, 9-1
- Seattle Seahawks, 8-2
- Los Angeles Rams, 6-4
- Arizona Cardinals, 3-7-1
The 49ers extended their lead over the Seahawks to a full game with a 36-26 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals took a 16-0 first-half lead but 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 424 passing yards and four touchdowns, rallying his team to the win, scoring the game-winning touchdown with 31 seconds left in the game.
The Seahawks did not play. They had their bye week.
The Rams played the Chicago Bears in the Sunday night game and won 17-7, coming off their bye week. They ran the ball 34 times, with Todd Gurley getting 25 carries for 97 yards and a touchdown, while quarterback Jared Goff only attempted 18 passes. Meanwhile, the defense sacked Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky four times and Bears kicker Eddie Pineiro missed two field goals.
The Cardinals got two touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown from Kyler Murray in the loss to the 49ers.
Coming up in Week 12, the Cardinals are off. They have the bye week before they have three straight home games in December and three games in the division to finish off the season. We will see if there will be any changes made on the coaching staff.
The Seahawks will be on the road in Week 12. They face the 5-5 and very inconsistent Philadelphia Eagles. The 49ers and Rams will be on prime-time television. The 49ers will host the 8-2 Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, beginning a tough three-game stretch for them. The Rams play on Monday night and will host the 8-2 Baltimore Ravens.
