The Los Angeles Rams are set to rest key players when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after winning the NFC West last week.

The NFL playoff race always gets a little crazy down the stretch, and things got especially crazy in the NFC West over the weekend. The Los Angeles Rams clinched the division title on Sunday, even though they didn't even play and they were able to clinch it thanks to a win by the Washington Commanders.

Minnesota’s 27-25 win over the Packers has given Los Angeles another win they need to clinch the NFC West due to the fifth tiebreaker (strength of victory) over the Seattle Seahawks. Now the Rams just need 0.

It is the Rams’ first division title since 2021, the year they won Super Bowl LVI. It is the franchise’s fourth NFC West title during McVay’s tenure, which began in 2017. And out of 390 teams in the Super Bowl era to start their seasons 1-4 or worse through five games, the Rams are the 14th to go on to win their division, per Pro Football Network.

The Rams have officially clinched the NFC West, securing the strength of victory tiebreaker thanks to wins by 3 teams on Sunday

Coming off their victory over the Cardinals, the Rams clinched the NFC West on Sunday with the Bills, Vikings and Commanders winning their respective games.

Here's what the Los Angeles Rams 13-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals means for their chances of winning the NFC West, as well as the slim chances still alive for the Seattle Seahawks to steal the division crown.

As he did in 2017 and 2023, Sean McVay has decided to play it safe in the season finale. With the NFC West clinched and no chance to earn a first-round bye, McVay is going to rest some of his starters in Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
