8. Los Angeles Rams (3-2; Last week: 5)
The Rams had a long weekend to deal with Thursday’s heartbreaking loss to Seattle, and certainly spent that mini-bye week stewing about the missed opportunities from that 30-29 loss. So are the Rams in serious trouble after back-to-back losses? We still think the Rams have the potential to be a very good team, but right now they look like the third-best team in their division, and that’s going to make the next two months very interesting as the Rams are the ones having to do the chasing.
6. Seattle Seahawks (4-1; Last week: 10)
It was a hell of a weekend for the NFC West, starting with Seattle’s power-shifting, dramatic win Thursday night against the Rams. It’s been fun to watch the growth from the Seahawks’ young secondary and wide receiver corps, and dare we say Russell Wilson might be pushing some air time in that MVP conversation?
5. San Francisco 49ers (4-0; Last week: 8)
The 49ers are for real, everyone. The last undefeated team in the NFC remained so Monday night after dominating the Browns from their very first offensive play. We’re not sure which was better: the running game, with 275 yards and a touchdown each from Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman —or the Niners’ defensive line, which hit Baker Mayfield eight times (including two sacks and five hits from rookie Nick Bosa.)
