The Arizona Cardinals are on their bye week and sit in first place in the NFC West at 6-4 and are fourth in the NFC playoff picture.
What does the NFC playoff race look like?
This is how things stand currently, although it does include the Thursday night game that had the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders and give them a leg up in the NFC East.
NFC playoff seedings, 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 the 4-5 L.A. Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears.
The Cardinals can move up to the third seed if the Falcons lose to the Denver Broncos.
Every game every week now matters, but the Vikings-Titans game and Packers-Bears game will impact the Packers and Vikings and whether the standings remain the same.
San Francisco and Seattle play each other, which could make both teams 5-5 or could tie the Niners with the Cardinals at 6-4.
