Welcome back to my weekly AFC West check-in – a quick, data-driven power ranking that tracks how the divisional shifts from Sunday to Sunday. Rankings aren’t box-score trophies – they’re context-adjusted judgments on where these teams are at and who’s sitting pole week to week.

Week 16 got underway with a huge NFC West showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. The matchup didn't just determine who holds first place in the division, but it also gave the winner the inside track for the NFC's No.

The Kansas City Chiefs will likely need a QB other than Patrick Mahomes early next season, and the Raiders' Kenny Pickett may be a fit.

ESPN’s Seth Walder simulated the rest of the regular season and the playoffs, so lets break down how the rest of the year could play out for the Broncos and the AFC West according to this mock-finish.

Last year, Hortiz and the front office found starting-caliber cornerbacks Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart in the fifth round. Fourth-rounder Justin Eboigbe has big upside. They had the no-brainer with Joe Alt at No. 5, then ripped off the New England Patriots to move up and land Ladd McConkey.

Danny Parkins, Willie Colon and Greg Jennings debate Danny’s take on the AFC West being wide open despite the Denver Broncos’ dominance, while also breaking down the Green Bay Packers’ loss and reacting to Micah Parsons’ injury.
