For the last few seasons, the NFC West has been headlined by the rivalry and competitiveness of the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, perhaps the two best teams in the entire conference.
NFL teams don’t want to play their best football during the preseason, but they also don’t want to look like this mess.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Coach Mike McCarthy wouldn't say Thursday how long his starters will play in the Packers' preseason opener Friday night against Arizona.
Alex Smith completed 18 of 19 pass attempts for 232 yards and three touchdowns, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals, 24-3, in Arizona on Monday night.
Week 7 in the NFL brought the Minnesota Vikings back home after a loss at the hands of Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins. The Vikings (4-2) welcome home Minnesota natives Larry Fitzgerald Jr. and Michael Floyd along with the 4-2 Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are also coming off a loss last week, being led into this game by backup quarterback John Skelton.
