San Francisco 49ers (No. 9 overall)
The Niners have lost three games in a row and lost first place in the NFC West. They dropped five spots from No. 4 in a week. They are still, though, the highest-ranked team in the division despite no longer leading the division.
Seattle Seahawks (No. 11 overall)
The Seahawks, now leading the NFC West by a half game, did not move from their No. 11 spot. They beat the Browns, who had P.J. Walker at quarterback. Apparently, that wasn’t enough to make anyone think they are any better than last week.
Los Angeles Rams (No. 16 overall)
The Rams dropped two spots after their blowout loss to the Cowboys. At 43-20, it was less close than the final score indicated.
Arizona Cardinals (No. 31 overall)
The Cardinals fell from No. 30 to No. 31 after their 31-24 loss to the Ravens. While the Cardinals made it interesting, they were down 17 points and Josh Dobbs threw two interceptions. He has been benched this week.
