Following a 26-20 road loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, the Denver Broncos (0-1) find themselves in third place in the AFC West.
Technically, the Los Angeles Chargers (1-0) are first in the AFC West after a 22-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders (0-1). The Raiders are the only team ranked lower in the division than the Broncos after one week of action.
The Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) are ranked second after defeating the Baltimore Ravens 27-20 in the NFL’s season opener on Thursday. After a small one-week sample size, it’s looking unlikely that anyone will catch KC in the division even though the Chiefs are currently ranked No. 2.
