NFC West standings after Week 5: 49ers lead, Seahawks second, Rams third

The Seattle Seahawks remain second in the NFC West at 3-2 after their loss to the San Francisco 49ers, who lead the division at 5-0. The Los Angeles Rams fell to 2-3 following a 37-34 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. The Rams blew a late lead after Matthew Stafford tied the game with five seconds left, but coach Sean McVay opted for overtime instead of a two-point conversion. In overtime, a James Cook fumble gave Los Angeles a chance, but Harrison Mevis's 48-yard field goal was blocked, sealing the defeat. The Arizona Cardinals sit last at 1-4, effectively out of contention. The Rams face the Cardinals next and have a favorable schedule until their Week 11 bye, but they may remain in third place if the 49ers and Seahawks continue winning.
