The KC Chiefs are still the kings of the AFC West until proven otherwise and that was what we saw even more to be true after week 1.

It’s not that we learned this, as everyone knew the Chiefs were by far the superior team of the division. The Raiders scored 34 points, which might impress some, but they were going up against a rebuilding team. The Chargers were in arguably the most boring game of the weekend and while the defense looked pretty good, the offense could barely get things moving.

I was most excited to watch the Broncos because of the hype they were receiving to see if they would live up to it at all. Despite all of the weapons they added, Lock struggled and the offense coughed the ball up twice. Tennessee should have won this game by double digits, but the kicking game continued to disappoint, missing 4 total kicks, but knocking through the one that mattered the most.
