The Arizona Cardinals are having one of their worst seasons in recent history, and it is happening when the NFC West might be having its best year. The Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers all have at least 10 wins. All are on track to make the playoffs and all have a real shot at the top seed in the conference.

Back in Weeks 4 and 5 we saw two Thursday night bangers between NFC West squads. In Week 4, the Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-20, and the next week the San Francisco 49ers took out the Los Angeles Rams 26-23 in overtime.

What is shaping up to be a pivotal Week 16 saw its first big development on Thursday night. The Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams on a two-point play in overtime to take control of the NFC West and the No.

The Seattle Seahawks won't have left tackle Charles Cross for multiple weeks due to injury, and that's bad news for the Seahawks' offense and, in turn, their hopes of winning the NFC West and No. 1 seed in the conference.
