The NFC West didn't change much in Week 6, but it did change a little. The San Francisco 49ers extended their lead in the division, improving to 6-0, but the team in last place changed. The Arizona Cardinals moved out of the cellar, and the Super Bowl favorite LA Rams now find themselves in last place.
Here are the updated NFC West standings after Week 6.
- San Francisco 49ers, 6-0 (3-0 division)
- Seattle Seahawks, 3-3 (1-1 division)
- Arizona Cardinals, 2-4 (1-2 division)
- LA Rams, 2-4 (0-2 division)
The Cardinals moved ahead of the Rams in the standings because of their head-to-head tiebreaker, although they also have a better division record, giving them two tiebreakers.
