THE Arizona Cardinals are on a bye and sit in first place in the NFC West with a 6-4 record and are fourth in the NFC playoffs.
What does the NFC playoff race look like?
That’s the way things look right now, although that includes Thursday night’s game in which the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders and gave them a lead in the NFC East.
NFC Playoff Rankings, Week 11
-
Detroit Lions, 8-1
-
Philadelphia Eagles, 8-2
-
Atlanta Falcons, 6-4
-
Arizona Cardinals, 6-4
-
Minnesota Vikings, 7-2
-
Green Bay Packers, 6-3
-
Washington Commanders, 7-4
In the mix are the 5-4 San Francisco 49ers and 4-5 Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears.
The Cardinals can advance to the third seed if the Falcons lose to the Denver Broncos.
Every game every week counts now, but the Vikings-Titans and Packers-Bears games will impact the Packers and Vikings and whether the standings stay the same.
San Francisco and Seattle face off, which could give both teams a 5-5 score or tie the Niners with the Cardinals at 6-4.
