Typically, this would be a ridiculous question. The Kansas City Chiefs are not the reigning AFC West champs and the not only are the Denver Broncos the holders of that distinction, but they also won the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, the Oakland Raiders went 7-9 last year and missed the playoffs for the 427th straight year.
However, this is anything but a typical situation.
Kansas City appears to be very strong heading into 2016, with most believing it is the favorite to take the division crown. The Chiefs only lost Sean Smith and judging from John Dorsey’s comments on Tuesday, the team might not be without Justin Houston for all that long.
