The NFC West had a full day on Sunday, opening with the Seahawks playing the Bucs in Munich, Germany at 9:30 a.m. and closing with the 49ers hosting the Chargers on . In between the Rams hosted the Cardinals. The division standings saw modest movement, but things are tightening up at the top.
The Seahawks struggled for three quarters against the Bucs on a neutral field before finally turning things on. However, it was too little too late as they lost 21-16. It's tough to tell if this game was representative of the Bucs starting to turn things around or if the Seahawks are coming back to earth, but it was a big loss due to the 49ers own result.
San Francisco came back from a ten-point first half deficit and beat the Chargers 22-16. It wasn't pretty for significant stretches, but with the win, the 49ers are now only a half game back of the first place Seahawks. Seattle is on a bye in Week 11 while the 49ers travel to Mexico City to face Arizona.
The other half of the division is turning into a mess. The Cardinals and Rams played without their starting quarterbacks and it was Colt McCoy who did enough to secure Arizona a key road win. They now have a half-game lead on LA in the division and are a game and a half back of the 49ers.
