For the first time in a decade, and after a nine-year reign by the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos won the AFC West thanks to a 14-3 regular season that also featured an 11-game winning streak. Had Bo Nix not broken his ankle in the Divisional Round, who knows what we're talking about right now?
Well, just because Denver was successful in 2025, doesn't mean the same success will come in 2026. The AFC West does have two other very capable teams in the Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers, and even the Las Vegas Raiders might be on an upward trend right now.
