Let’s take a look at the AFC West standings entering Week 5.

1.) Chiefs (3-1)

Many thought Kansas City would roll into MetLife Stadium and easily cruise to victory. But the Jets put up a fight, making the game come down to the wire. New York trailed by as much as 17 points, but they were able to tie up the game 20 apiece. The Chiefs took the lead on a field goal early in the fourth quarter and a Zach Wilson turnover ultimately decided the outcome of the game, with Kansas City coming out on top, 23-20.

2.) Chargers (2-2)

It wouldn’t be a Chargers game if it didn’t have fans on the edge of their seats. It was like that, even though it shouldn’t have been. Going into the half with a comfortable 24-7 lead, Los Angeles’ offense fell flat, totaling just 85 yards and zero points in the second half. Luckily, the defense came up big to bail them out, with Asante Samuel Jr. notching a clutch interception at their own goal line. On the day, they amassed seven sacks, six by Khalil Mack and held the Raiders to 1 of 11 on third-down conversions.

3.) Raiders (1-3)

The Raiders rolled with rookie Aidan O’Connell under center while Jimmy Garoppolo was out with a concussion. O’Connell experienced growing pains, with most of the seven sacks from holding the ball for too long. Las Vegas’ defense in the second half kept them alive, as they forced two three-and-outs, got an interception and made a fourth-down stop on the Chargers’ first four possessions. But ultimately, O’Connell’s pick in the final minutes determined the Raiders’ fate.

4.) Broncos (1-3)

The Broncos picked up their first win of the season after defeating the Bears, 31-28. It seemed like Denver was done for being down 28-7. But Russell Wilson, who had 135 yards and two touchdowns in the second half, and their defense, which slowed down Justin Fields and forced two turnovers, including one that was returned for a touchdown, was the recipe for the comeback victory.
