The Denver Broncos reign as AFC West Champions came to a halt after five seasons. The Kansas City Chiefs were able to win the division just a week after eliminating the Broncos from the playoffs last season. Thanks to Denver’s help in Week 17, the Chiefs won the division. It was their first AFC West title since 2010.
But the playoffs still have not been kind to the Chiefs. After obtaining a first round bye in the playoffs, they were beaten by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Round.
Despite the playoff failure, the Kansas City Chiefs are still primed to be one of the favorites in the stacked division.
