While the 2-1 Los Angeles Rams remain a perceived contender in the NFC, there are multiple teams that are vying for playoff berths. While early, the NFC West is one of the league's more fiercely competitive divisions. And despite a 2-1 record, if the playoffs happened today, Los Angeles wouldn't be among the teams to compete in the postseason.
The NFC West boasts the undefeated San Francisco 49ers, as well as the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals, who both own 2-1 records. All three teams have won at least one conference game, but L.A. is currently 0-1 in the conference.
