Okay, Brad, here you go. I got through 2013:
For 2018:
Early games:
The Chargers won at the Ravens with a 1:00 pm start time. (1-0)
Late games:
The Seahawks lost at the Cowboys in a primetime game. (0-1)
For 2017:
No games fit the criteria. The only west coast team was the Rams, and they lost in the first round at home, so that doesn't count.
For 2016:
Early games:
None that fit the criteria
Late games:
Raiders lost to the Texans, 4:35 start (0-2)
Seahawks lost at the Falcons, 4:35 start (0-3)
For 2015:
Early games:
Seahawks won at Minnesota, 1:05 start (2-0)
Seahawks lost at Carolina, 1:06 start (2-1)
Late games:
Cardinals lost at Carolina, prime time start (0-4)
For 2014:
Early games:
None that fit the criteria
Late games:
Cardinals lost at Carolina, 4:20 start (0-5)
Seattle won at Green Bay, 3:06 start (1-5)
For 2013
Early Games:
Chargers won at Cincy, 1:05 start (3-1)
SF won at Carolina, 1:05 start (4-1)
Late games:
SF won at GB, 4:40 start (2-5)
Early games, the western team was 4-1. Late games, they were 2-5. I think that the gap narrowed a bit with a few more years (I didn't document those earlier, so you'll have to check for yourself), but clearly, playing early did not affect six years' worth of teams too badly.
EDIT: You can check these pretty easily with Google. Note that the years given were for the appropriate season, not the year the game was played in.
