News Analysis: Rams’ path to playoffs: Analysis of NFC West race for the division crown

LA Times  

Coach Sean McVay congratulates players as they come off the field after the Rams scored a touchdown against Philadelphia on Sunday. The Rams made the playoffs five times in coach Sean McVay’s first seven seasons, qualifying three times by winning the NFC West and twice when finishing second. With six games left, including division matchups against the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks, the Rams are in postseason contention thanks in part to a division devoid of a dominant team. San Francisco 49ers Record: 5-6 In NFC West: 1-3 Remaining games: @Buffalo, Chicago, Rams, @Miami, Detroit, @Cardinals With so many highly paid stars, this seems like the last dance for a team desperate to finally win a Super Bowl under coach Kyle Shanahan. Seattle Seahawks Record: 6-5 In NFC West: 2-2 Remaining games: @New York Jets, @Arizona, Green Bay, Minnesota, @Chicago, @Rams First-year coach Mike Macdonald’s team is atop the division after last Sunday’s victory over the Cardinals, a win that came a week after they defeated the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium.
