With the Rams and 49ers both winning on Wild Card Weekend, that means the NFC West will now be sending three teams to the divisional round this year. San Francisco and Los Angeles will be joined by the Seattle Seahawks, who earned a bye to the divisional round as the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.

But more than that, the NFC West made NFL history this year. It became the fourth division to ever send three teams to the divisional round of the playoffs, according to ESPN. The others were the 2022 NFC East, 1997 NFC Central and 1992 NFC East.

This season's NFC West is one of four divisions to ever have three teams reach the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

With the Los Angeles Rams beating the Carolina Panthers and the San Francisco 49ers beating the Philadelphia Eagles, three of the four Divisional Round spots in the NFC belong to teams in the West.

Almost a third of NFL teams have a vacancy at head coach. The competition between teams to target top candidates like John Harbaugh, Kevin Stefanski, Mike McDaniel will be fierce.

Going through all eight NFL head coach vacancies, ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano made his prediction for the Cardinals in Seattle Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak:

Could the Arizona Cardinals take an offensive coordinator from one of their NFC West divisional rivals as their next head coach?

The Arizona Cardinals continue looking for a new head coach to replace Jonathan Gannon, whom they fired last week after three season, following a 3-14 2025 and 15-36 record in three years. So far, 10 candidates have emerged.

The top two spots in the odds to win the Super Bowl stayed with the Seahawks (+300) and Rams (+320). Over the last seven weeks, the two NFC West rivals consistently traded spots at the top. Both teams could be on a collision course for the NFC Championship Game with one more win each.
