Welcome to our week five edition of the NFC West mixtape, a division that does not get any

less interesting.

Three of the four teams now at three and one.

The Cardinals at two and two.

And mathematically, when you consider who's played each other,

this is about as good as it could possibly get in this division.

Still the only division in football that doesn't have a team with a losing record.

Rob, what do you think so far through four weeks?

Is this kind of the way you saw this division playing out? Most of the teams in this division are playing to the level I thought they would play at. The 49ers are three and one, maybe a little luckier than some of the teams in the division, but they're three and one. The Rams are really good, just like I thought they'd be. The Seahawks have gotten it together, and they came through at the end last week against the Cardinals to go to three and one. And Arizona, as we talked about, continues to be less than the sum of their parts. And that's why they're in last place. Yeah. Yeah. And we're going to kind of finish up with them. We're going to start this week, taking a look back at the biggest game of

last week was a Thursday night game. Then a little bit later, we're going to look ahead to this

Thursday night's game, the biggest game of the week in the division, both featured on Thursday

nights. Look back to that Seahawk Cardinals game to start with, though. And this was one that for the second week in a row, for all intents and purposes, looked like the Seahawks had this one in the bag. Like had a chance to really put this one away, a questionable holding call late in the fourth quarter on what would have been a Zach Sharbonne, touchdown with about nine and a half minutes to play, would have made it 24 to 6. This game was over at that point.

Instead, they have to settle for a field goal, makes it 20 to 6.

Arizona kind of gets it together a little bit,

puts together a couple of touchdown drives,

sandwiched around a missed field goal by Jason Myers.

In the end, Myers atones for that with the last second field goal to walk it off,

the Seahawks escape with a 23 to 20 win.

My takeaway from this game is, you know, we both know what happened in week one.

And the Seahawks and the 49ers take it down to the end.

It's in the field.

Is what happened in week one.
