NFC West is an Absolute Gauntlet
Many consider the NFC West as being the toughest division in the NFL this season, and for good reason. The Cardinals managing to defeat the 49ers in Week 1 was a tremendous look at why that’s the case.
It’s not going to be easy for any one team to come away with the No. 1 spot in the NFC West rankings this season. If the Cardinals end up continuing to show improvement, they could end up competing to be a division winner along with the rest of the group.
The Seahawks and Rams showcased their respective potential during their Week 1 matchups. Both teams came away with wins against high-powered offenses as Los Angeles defeated the Cowboys and Seattle faced off with the Falcons.
It’s too early to make a lot of predictions for how the rest of the NFL season will play out. For now, the 49ers sit at the bottom of the NFC West standings with a genuine outlook for any team in the division to win it in 2020.
