The Chargers snapped their two-game losing streak and improved to 3-4 after defeating the Bears on Sunday night. What about the others in the division?
With that, let’s take a look at the AFC West standings entering Week 9.
1.) Chiefs (6-2)
After winning their last six games before this game, the Chiefs were stunned by the Broncos. Kansas City, uncharacteristically, only managed nine points, all while turning the ball over five times. They sacked Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson six times, but their poor offensive output was not enough to get the job done.
2.) Chargers (3-4)
For the first time all season, the Chargers played a complete game in all three phases. Justin Herbert was phenomenal, completing 31 of 40 pass attempts for 298 yards and three touchdowns. The defense limited the Bears to just 13 points and forced two turnovers. Cameron Dicker made all of his field goals and extra points.
3.) Raiders (3-5)
The Raiders lost to the Lions on Monday night, 26-14. Las Vegas’ defense forced three turnovers, including a pick-six. Ultimately, their offense was so bad. They failed even to reach 160 total yards. It resulted in wide receiver Davante Adams slamming his helmet on the ground at the end of the game. Head coach Josh McDaniel’s seat is getting hotter and hotter.
4.) Broncos (3-5)
Going into Sunday, the Broncos were 0-12 against Patrick Mahomes. They ended that streak, thanks to a defensive performance that consisted of five committed turnovers. Wilson only threw for 112 yards, but he was still able to muster three touchdowns.
