The AFC West has quickly become one of the best divisions in football, seeing that three teams made the playoffs last year and three of the four starting quarterbacks were voted to the pro-bowl.

Denver has arguably the greatest quarterback of all time under center and made it to the Super Bowl. The Chargers emerged from the depths with the resurrection of Phillip Rivers, and excellent coaching from first year guy Mike McCoy. Oakland, well, they were Oakland and Kansas City found themselves in a division race with the Denver ultimately reaching the playoffs in one of the greatest turnarounds in NFL history. It’s hard to say that 2014 will be anything close to that but we do know that it won’t be a cake walk to win the West.
