The Rams have officially clinched the NFC West, securing the strength of victory tiebreaker thanks to wins by 3 teams on Sunday

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.

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.
