- The Seahawks stayed ahead of the Rams in the NFC West on division record after Seattle beat Arizona and Los Angeles routed San Francisco.
- The Rams are the top wild-card team and, with identical overall records to Seattle, will face the Seahawks in Week 11 with major standings implications.
- Detroit moved into the NFC North lead on a tiebreaker over Chicago, and Green Bay slid from third to seventh following its loss in Philadelphia.
- Tampa Bay fell to fourth after a defeat, and every team better than 6-4 currently occupies a playoff position, underscoring the tight margins across the conference.
