The San Francisco 49ers were at the top of the NFC West standings on Saturday. Just five days later they are – at least temporarily – in last place. Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs dropped the 49ers to 3-4. Combined with the Los Angeles Rams' surprising win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night, they have slipped to last place in the league.

The Vikings, who started the season 5-0, suffered their second straight loss, while the Rams earned their second straight win after winning just one of their first five games. The only win came in Week 3 against the 49ers.

With an even record of 3-4, the Rams are ahead of the 49ers in the tiebreaker and are therefore ahead of Kyle Shanahan's team in the overall standings. The Arizona Cardinals also beat the 49ers 3-4 this season, leaving San Francisco behind all division rivals.

The Seattle Seahawks are now at the top of the NFC West with a 4-3 record.

The 49ers have a chance to climb out of last place with a win on Sunday night against the 3-3 Dallas Cowboys. Below are the current NFC West standings:

  • Seattle Seahawks (4-3)
  • Arizona Cardinals (3-4)
  • Los Angeles Rams (3-4)
  • San Francisco 49ers (3-4)
