Through the first four weeks of the 2019 regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs were gifted the AFC West. Not only did the Chiefs themselves sweep their first four opponents to remain one of the league’s only unbeaten teams, but the rest of the division tanked in completely unexpected ways.
Ever since the first month of the season, the Chiefs fortunes have dipped almost as low as their division rivals. Somehow, however, the rest of the West has yet to take full advantage of the Chiefs’ current free fall. While a bye week has gotten in the way for the Oakland Raiders, the Chargers continue to lose and everyone remains at least a half game behind if not much more.
