NFL columnist Peter King recently ranked the Kansas City Chiefs as the best team in the league, while also giving respect to the new powerhouse of the NFL that is the American Football Conference.
In King’s latest round of NFL power rankings, four of the top five teams are members of the AFC (1. Kansas City Chiefs, 2. New England Patriots, 3. Indianapolis Colts, 4. Los Angeles Rams, 5. Los Angeles Chargers). In recent years, it has been the National Football Conference that has been hailed as the stronger of the two. With the drastic shift focusing more toward offensive firepower, the AFC might stake its claim as the strongest conference.
