The Los Angeles Rams, the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals are starting their season 2-0. The Seattle Seahawks are in last as of now, but did manage a nice win the Pittsburgh Steelers to bring their record up to 1-1.
It’s been a strong start overall for the NFC West as the Rams have looked solid, the Cardinals are finding ways to win, the 49ers are navigating a boatload of injuries, and Seattle may get better as Sam Darnold settles into his new gig. It doesn’t appear that the divsion winner, whoever it ends up being, will have it easy as this divsion seems competetive, and hungry to prove their competetive across the NFL.
Who do you think is the best in the West?

“When we execute with the players that we have and the scheme that we have, we got a … a high probability of being successful,” Stafford said.
Wide receiver Puka Nacua also ran 45 yards for a touchdown and had 91 yards receiving. Davante Adams had 106 yards receiving and a touchdown catch. Joshua Karty also kicked two field goals.“
“Stafford bounced back from bad pick as Rams dominated second half. Tennessee took a 13-10 lead into halftime as the Rams left points on the board. Matthew Stafford’s bad interception in the closing minute of the first half allowed the Titans to gain the edge, and the Rams were lucky that a Titans punt return for touchdown was called back by a penalty. But they countered with a dominant second half, scoring on four of their first five possessions before running the clock out. Stafford completed 14 of 17 passes for 191 yards and two touchdown strikes in the second half, hitting Davante Adams to make it a two-score...
