Here’s how the playoff picture looks in the NFC entering the final week of the regular season, including current seeds and projected matchups

The NFL playoff race always gets a little crazy down the stretch, and things got especially crazy in the NFC West over the weekend. The Los Angeles Rams clinched the division title on Sunday, even though they didn't even play and they were able to clinch it thanks to a win by the Washington Commanders.

Remember, less than three months ago, where it seemed like this Rams season was going? Entering the bye 1-4. A defense that felt a year away. An offense so defined by injuries the whole campaign was taking on a cursed feel.
