The Chargers were on their bye this past week, so they watched the other teams in the division play.
With that, let’s take a look at the AFC West standings entering Week 6.
1.) Chiefs (4-1)
Kansas City defeated the Vikings, 27-20. After being tied up at the half, the Chiefs scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, one of which came from Travis Kelce, who briefly left the matchup with a non-contact ankle injury. Minnesota pulled within seven points in the final quarter, but the Chiefs’ defense stepped up down the stretch to seal the deal.
2.) Chargers (2-2)

3.) Raiders (2-3)
Las Vegas defeated the Packers on Monday night in a low-scoring affair. The Raiders’ offense was nothing to write about, but their defense came through. They made a handful of stops, including two interceptions on Jordan Love in the fourth quarter. In total, Love was picked off three times. Additionally, Maxx Crosby outmatched the Packers’ offensive line.
4.) Broncos (1-4)
Denver was defeated by the Jets by the score of 31-21. The Broncos had the lead at the half, but the second half was filled with a multitude of blunders, including Russell Wilson losing a fumble that was returned for a touchdown in the second half. Denver’s defense surrendered 23 points in the second half and had no answer for New York’s run game which totaled 234 yards.
