The San Francisco 49ers will take the field on Monday night with a chance to confirm their status as the NFC West favorites.

In Week 1, the Seattle Seahawks were the only division winners, beating the Denver Broncos 26-20 at home and not looking particularly good. Seattle averaged 5.1 yards per play, allowed two safeties and won by just six points in a game in which they limited their opponent (with a rookie quarterback) to 3.3 yards per play.

The Arizona Cardinals quickly took a 17-3 lead in their away game against the Buffalo Bills, but Buffalo closed the game with a 31-11 run. Arizona’s only touchdown in the second half came on a kick return.

Perhaps the most impressive performance in the division on Sunday came from the Los Angeles Rams in a 26-20 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions. LA lost star wide receiver Puka Nacua early in the game and had only one starter in his regular spot on the offensive line due to injuries. LA still cobbled together enough offense to take a fourth-quarter lead, but the Lions tied it late with a field goal before plowing down the field on the first possession of overtime and scoring the game-winning touchdown.

The 49ers will take any win they can get against the New York Jets on Monday night, but if they can overcome their turbulent offseason and put together a complete game against a Jets team that some consider a Super Bowl favorite, the 49ers can quickly confirm their status as the team to beat in the NFC West.
