Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians has insisted that the NFC West is not a dead certainty and that teams other than San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks stand a chance.

Even though the 49ers and Seahawks destroyed all in their way in the division last season, Arians said that the matches must still be played.

"I don't see the dominance that everybody else talks about," Arians told the club's official website. "One of those teams may be. It still has to be played on Sunday."

The Cardinals propped up the NFC West last time out with a 5-11 overall record.
