If the Washington Commanders beat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, the Los Angeles Rams will win the NFC West and make the playoffs as the 3-seed regardless of what happens in their last game against the Seattle Seahawks or anything else this season. If the Commanders win, the Rams win and can/will rest all of their starters against the Seahawks in Week 18, setting up a probable showdown against those same Commanders in the wild card round.
The Rams needed four certain teams to win on Sunday to have a chance to clinch the title today.
