There is no division in the NFL through the 2024 season’s first 13 weeks more tightly contested than the NFC West.  Just two games separate the first place Seattle Seahawks (7-5) from the last place San Francisco 49ers (5-7) with the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams tied in the middle with 6-6 records.
