All season long, it was the same comments coming from fans and football analysts alike: The Kansas City Chiefs weren't very good, winning games but barley skating through their schedule with close victories that exposed who they were as a team.

The Los Angeles Rams took down the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night, the first step toward clinching the NFC West – which they did on Sunday with the help of three teams. They've climbed all the way out of a 1-4 hole to start the year and currently sit at 10-6

Oddly, the Rams saw their playoff spot clinched Sunday night by Washington’s win over Atlanta. The Rams are NFC West champs, regardless of what happens against the Seahawks in Week 18. They have won five in a row and six of their last seven. They have won their last three despite not scoring 20 points in any of those games.
