A look at the NFC West.

1. San Francisco 49ers

Coach: Kyle Shana­han (4th year — 23–25 reg­u­lar sea­son, 2–1 playoffs)

2019 record: 13–3 (1st in NFC West)

Offen­sive play-caller: Shana­han (4th year)

Quar­ter­back sit­u­a­tion: Jim­my Garop­po­lo led the 49ers to the Super Bowl last year and the for­mer Tom Brady under­study returns in his sec­ond full year as San Francisco’s starter. The back­ups are Nick Mul­lens and C.J. Beathard.

Young skill-posi­tion play­ers: Garop­po­lo might have the most loaded young skill cast in the NFC. All-Pro and record-set­ting tight end George Kit­tle, 26, is the star, while speedy young wide­outs Dee­bo Samuel, 24, and rook­ie Bran­don Aiyuk, 22, give San Fran­cis­co plen­ty of com­ple­men­tary fire­pow­er to the run game.

Key sta­tis­tic: 4.8. That is the aver­age net yards gained per pass attempt the San Fran­cis­co defense held oppo­nents to in 2019, which ranked first in the league.

2. Seattle Seahawks

Coach: Pete Car­roll (11th year in Seat­tle — 133–90‑1 reg­u­lar sea­son over­all, 11–9 playoffs)

2019 record: 11–5 (2nd in NFC West)

Offen­sive play-caller: Bri­an Schot­ten­heimer (3rd year)

Quar­ter­back sit­u­a­tion: Rus­sell Wil­son is still the man in Seat­tle, as he enters his ninth year as the fran­chise QB and has yet to miss a game. He threw 31 touch­downs to five inter­cep­tions in 2019. Geno Smith and rook­ie Antho­ny Gor­don back Wil­son up.

Young skill-posi­tion play­ers: Wil­son has an arse­nal that includes D.K. Met­calf, 22, who post­ed 900 yards receiv­ing as a rook­ie. Also of note is the young run­ning back tan­dem of Chris Car­son, 25, and Rashaad Pen­ny, 24, while Tyler Lock­ett, 27, gives Wil­son anoth­er option through the air along­side vet­er­an tight end Greg Olsen.

Key sta­tis­tic: 91. That’s the per­cent­age of Seattle’s reg­u­lar-sea­son wins (10 of 11) that came by one score or less a sea­son ago, includ­ing dra­mat­ic vic­to­ries by one point over the Ben­gals and Rams. The foot­ball might not bounce the Sea­hawks’ way so much again in tight games in 2020.

3. Los Angeles Rams

Coach: Sean McVay (fourth year — 33–15 reg­u­lar sea­son, 2–2 in playoffs)

2019 record: 9–7 (3rd in NFC West)

Offen­sive play-caller: McVay (fourth year)

Quar­ter­back sit­u­a­tion: After going to the Super Bowl in 2018, quar­ter­back Jared Goff and the Rams’ offense took a step back last year as the team missed the play­offs. John Wol­ford is the backup.

Young skill-posi­tion play­ers: Rook­ie Cam Akers, 21, will be the team’s tail­back after being select­ed in the sec­ond round out of Flori­da State in April. Oth­er young play­mak­ers include wide­out Josh Reynolds, 25, while the Rams have a proven tight end in Tyler Hig­bee, 27.

Key sta­tis­tic: Five. That’s how many dou­ble-dig­it loss­es the Rams incurred last year, includ­ing giv­ing up a com­bined 100 points in blowout defeats to the Buc­ca­neers and Ravens.

4. Arizona Cardinals

Coach: Kliff Kings­bury (2nd year — 5–10‑1 reg­u­lar season)

2019 record: 5–10‑1 (4th in NFC West)

Offen­sive play-caller: Kings­bury (2nd year)

Quar­ter­back sit­u­a­tion: Kyler Mur­ray, the first over­all pick of the 2019 draft, engi­neered two game-win­ning dri­ves last year and had a 87.4 rat­ing, with 20 touch­downs and 12 picks. Ari­zona looks for him to take a big step for­ward in his sec­ond season.

Young skill-posi­tion play­ers: Vet­er­an wide­outs DeAn­dre Hop­kins and Lar­ry Fitzger­ald will be along­side Chris­t­ian Kirk, 23, an Ari­zona native who has pro­gressed in his first two sea­sons in the league. Tight end Maxx Williams, 26, and run­ning back Kenyan Drake, 26, are also options for Murray.

Key sta­tis­tic: 402. Total yards per game the Car­di­nals defense allowed in 2019, which ranked last in foot­ball. The unit also ranked fifth-worst in aver­aged points allowed at 27.6.
