The Arizona Cardinals maintained their division lead in the NFC West with a 31-6 victory over the New York Jets. Quarterback Kyler Murray had a standout performance with 266 yards passing and two rushing touchdowns. Running back James Conner also contributed with 113 scrimmage yards. Despite their success, safety Budda Baker remains focused on taking each game day by day and not getting complacent with their current standing.
In other NFC West news, the San Francisco 49ers narrowly defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20, despite kicker Jake Moody missing three field goals. Running back Christian McCaffrey had a solid return to action, with 107 scrimmage yards. The 49ers, now 5-4, face a tough upcoming schedule but have shown improvement in recent games.
The Seattle Seahawks (4-5) will return to action after a bye week, while the Los Angeles Rams (4-4) are set to play the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. Even with the Rams potentially winning their next two games, they still trail behind the Cardinals in standings. However, with a relatively easier remaining strength of schedule and the return of key players, the Rams are looking to stay competitive in the division.
Overall, the NFC West remains competitive with each team facing unique challenges and opportunities as the season progresses. Fans can look forward to exciting matchups and potential changes in the division standings in the weeks to come.
