The NFC West didn’t change at all in terms of standings in Week 6. The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams won, while the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals lost, but the standings remained the same.
Now approaching the midpoint of the season, the 49ers remain in first place, while the Cardinals pull up the back end. However, everyone but the Cardinals are 4-2.

Week 6 results
49ers
The Niners lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-19. Mac Jones threw two picks and did not have a touchdown pass, and linebacker Fred Warner suffered a season-ending injury. Now their two best defenders — Warner and pass rusher Nick Bosa — are out for the season.
Seahawks
Seattle beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-12. Sam Darnold passed for 295 yards and two touchdowns, and he didn’t turn the ball over. Receiver Jaxson Smith-Njugba had eight catches for 162 yards and a score. The defense sacked Trevor Lawrence seven times.

Rams
The Rams beat a shorthanded Baltimore Ravens team 17-3. The Ravens didn’t have quarterback Lamar Jackson, and the Rams took advantage. The defense had four sacks and three takeaways, and it didn’t allow a point after about midway through the first quarter.
Cardinals
Jacoby Brissett started at quarterback for Kyler Murray, who sprained his foot in Week 5. Brissett had 320 passing yards and two touchdown passes, but he failed to lead a game-winning drive at the end of the game in a 31-27 loss on the road to the Indianapolis Colts.
