The Los Angeles Rams will host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, and for fans of both teams and fans of the NFC West, it’s the first game where someone gets to claim first place in the division.
For the Rams, the Cardinals are the first game in defense of their NFC West title, and possibly a step towards a second. For Arizona, it’s a chance to maybe get a first win of the season, but beating LA for the first time since 2016 is a tall if not near impossible order.
The West is a lot of things, depending on who your team is.
