T homas Brown’s strange journey as a coach could take him back into the NFC West and running an offense for his third different team in the last three years. The Seattle Seahawk

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Rams 30-25 in Sunday’s Week 18 regular-season finale. Unfortunately, the Rams had already clinched the NFC West division. Head coach Sean McVay fielded a team largely consisting of backups as the Seahawks eyed their first 10-win season since 2020.

Minnesota’s 27-25 win over the Packers has given Los Angeles another win they need to clinch the NFC West due to the fifth tiebreaker (strength of victory) over the Seattle Seahawks. Now the Rams just need 0.

It is the Rams’ first division title since 2021, the year they won Super Bowl LVI. It is the franchise’s fourth NFC West title during McVay’s tenure, which began in 2017. And out of 390 teams in the Super Bowl era to start their seasons 1-4 or worse through five games, the Rams are the 14th to go on to win their division, per Pro Football Network.

The Rams can lock up the NFC West on Sunday if they get some help. Here are the teams they should be rooting for.

The Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon intercepted a pass thrown toward the end zone with 37 seconds to go to preserve a 13-9 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

After a low-scoring win over the Cardinals, the Rams could win the NFC West based on how the remainder of Week 17 goes.

The Los Angeles Rams have won the NFC West crown, and the final standings have remained largely unchanged from Week 17 to Week 18. That, of course, means the San Francisco 49ers are in last place. They will have the 11th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and a more extended offseason than they’ve had the last couple of years.
