The Arizona Cardinals will face the Los Angeles Rams Monday night with a chance to maintain their lead in the NFC West and their status as No. 1 seed in the NFC. They will clinch a playoff spot with a win.
However, they did not get any help from the teams chasing them.
The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 45-30. At 10-3, if the Cardinals lose to the Rams, the Packers will overtake them as the No. 1 seed.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also improved to 10-3 with a 33-27 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills.
A Cardinals loss tonight would mean the NFC has three 10-3 teams.
A win keeps them a game ahead of both teams.
Even the Dallas Cowboys won, beating Washington 27-20 and improving to 9-4.
None of it matters this week if the Cardinals beat the Rams, but it sure would be nice if they could get some help in the final weeks.
