Though the on-field results have been different recently in the win/loss column, the Seahawks and Cardinals are in contention due to suffocating defenses.

The NFC West is a bunched-up, crazy-tight race and it's probably going to stay that way during the final six weeks of the NFL regular season.

The Seattle Seahawks captured their third consecutive victory, outlasting the New York Jets 26-21 in Week 13. Mike Macdonald’s squad now enters Sunday’s Week 14 showdown versus the Arizona Cardinals in pole position in the NFC West.

Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers keep winning.

Welcome to another Seattle Seahawks power rankings update! After a narrow 26-21 win over the New York Jets, the Seahawks have now rattled off three straight victories and have climbed from the NFC West cellar to the top spot.

The 49ers have lost three games in a row, but their season isn't dead yet. Sure, they're in last place in the NFC West, but they're also only two games out of first place and they have four winnable games remaining on their schedule.
