The Cardinals maintain the NFC West lead, the 49ers keep pace

The Arizona Cardinals are in first place in the NFC West and will continue to do so next week after their bye. They have won four in a row, but the San Francisco 49ers are hot on their heels and have running back Christian McCaffrey back.

What does the division look like heading into Week 11?

1. Arizona Cardinals, 6-4 (2-0 Division)

2. San Francisco 49ers, 5-4 (1-2)

3. LA Rams, 4-5 (2-1)

4. Seattle Seahawks, 4-5 (0-2)

Let’s see what happened in Week 10 for each team and what lies ahead.

Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals defeated the New York Jets 31-6 for their fourth straight win. They haven’t allowed a touchdown in their last three home games and Kyler Murray had a touchdown pass and two rushing touchdowns.

You have this week off. But even if the Niners win in Week 11, the Cardinals will still retain the league lead due to their head-to-head win over them.

San Francisco 49ers

McCaffrey returned and had over 100 scrimmage yards, and Brock Purdy had two touchdown passes in a 26-23 win over Tampa Bay. They have won two in a row. They play at home against the Seahawks in Week 11.

LA Rams

The Rams fell back under .500 with a 23-15 loss to Miami. They didn’t score a touchdown. Matthew Stafford was intercepted once and sacked four times, although Jonah Jackson and Steve Avila returned to their starting offense. They will play the Patriots on the road in Week 11.

Seattle Seahawks

They didn’t play in Week 10 and are now in last place. They started the season 3-0 and have lost five of six.

Now they have to hit the road to face the Niners. They have yet to win a division game this season and have won three in their next four games.
