NFC West
NFC West is a division of the National Football League (NFL) in the United States. It is part of the National Football Conference (NFC), one of the two conferences in the NFL. The division consists of four teams: the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks.
History
The NFC West was created in the NFL's 1970 league realignment, which followed the merger of the American Football League (AFL) with the NFL. Initially, the division included teams from a mix of geographical locations, but it has evolved to consist primarily of teams from the western United States.
Over the years, the NFC West has experienced various changes in its composition. The Arizona Cardinals joined the division in 2002, following the NFL's realignment that created eight four-team divisions. This realignment aimed to geographically organize the teams more logically.
Teams
Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals, based in Glendale, Arizona, were founded in 1898 and are the oldest continuously run professional football team in the United States. They moved to Arizona from St. Louis in 1988.
Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams, originally founded in 1936 in Cleveland, Ohio, moved to Los Angeles in 1946, making them the first NFL team on the West Coast. They spent a brief period in St. Louis from 1995 to 2015 before returning to Los Angeles.
San Francisco 49ers
Founded in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC), the San Francisco 49ers joined the NFL in 1950 following the merger between the AAFC and the NFL. They are based in Santa Clara, California, where their home field, Levi's Stadium, is located.
Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team. Originally competing in the NFC, they were relocated to the AFC West during the 1977 realignment but returned to the NFC West in 2002.
Championships
Teams in the NFC West have been successful in achieving high honors in the NFL, including multiple Super Bowl championships. The San Francisco 49ers, in particular, have won five Super Bowl titles. The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks have also won Super Bowl championships.
Rivalries
The NFC West is known for its intense rivalries, particularly between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, which has become one of the most competitive in the NFL in recent years. The historical rivalry between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, known as the "California Clásico," dates back to the early days of the NFL.
Current standings
The current standings of the NFC West can be found on the NFL's official website or sports news websites that cover the NFL.
