If the top three teams continue at this pace, it’s truly going to be an exciting finish to the season in the NFC West. There’s a lot to unpack here, but with the three top teams victorious again, it’s really more of the same. Let’s take a look at our NFC West Power Rankings following an exciting Week 7 of action.
#1 – Los Angeles Rams

Staying in Baltimore before traveling to England proved to be a smart move for the Los Angeles Rams. They dispatched the Jacksonville Jaguars with ease as Matthew Stafford threw for five touchdown passes. A garbage-time touchdown is all that kept the Rams from pitching a shutout. Now, as they head into their bye week, there’s a chance they get Puka Nacua back.

#2 – Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (11) rushes for yards during the second quarter of an NFL football matchup, Sunday, Oct. 12, 2025, at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. The Seahawks defeated the Jaguars 20-12.
It wasn’t always smooth, but there was never any real doubt as to whether the Seattle Seahawks would defeat the Houston Texans on Monday. Seattle took advantage of their home field, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to put up video game numbers. With both running backs healthy and a solid defense, things are working for Seattle.
#3 – San Francisco 49ers

From an offensive perspective, the San Francisco 49ers didn’t dominate the Atlanta Falcons, but it was still an impressive home victory. Christian McCaffrey found his groove on the ground as he gained 129 yards on 24 carries while scoring two touchdowns. Holding Bijan Robinson and the Falcons to just 10 points after also losing Fred Warner was impressive.
#4 – Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (85) embraces quarterback Jacoby Brissett (7) after the two connected for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Oct. 19, 2025.
What did we say about a potential quarterback controversy? This time, Jacoby Brissett threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns as the Cardinals were never truly out of it all afternoon. In fact, they were in position to win, but they allowed two fourth-quarter touchdowns and weren’t strong enough to close out the Green Bay Packers. Coming close to victory isn’t good enough.
