can the rams get the 5 seed
Yes — the Rams can get the 5 seed, and as of the latest update they are in position where a win in Week 18 locks it in.
Quick Scoop: Can the Rams get the 5 seed?
- The Rams enter Week 18 as the No. 6 seed in the NFC, already having clinched a playoff spot.
- Multiple outlets report that Los Angeles clinches the 5 seed with a win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18.
- If the Rams lose to Arizona, they stay in the wild-card field but slide down to the 6 seed instead of moving up.
Why the 5 seed matters
- The current NFC structure means the 5 seed draws the NFC South winner (Panthers or Buccaneers), a team with a losing or mediocre record.
- The 6 seed, by contrast, has to face a stronger opponent like the Bears or Eagles, both with better records and higher seeds.
What has to happen
- Rams beat the Cardinals in Week 18.
- With that win, they jump the 49ers via tiebreakers and become the 5 seed, sending them on the road to face the NFC South champ.
So in forum terms:
“Can the Rams get the 5 seed?”

TL;DR: The Rams control their own destiny; beat Arizona and they’re the 5 seed, lose and they’re the 6.
