ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Before Andy Reid unleashed Patrick Mahomes on the AFC West, it didn't take two hands to count the list of Denver Broncos quarterbacks who missed the playoffs. Before Los Angeles played in a soccer stadium on the way to SoFi, the Broncos and the Chargers ruled the AFC West.
But, alas, that was in the years B.P. -- Before Patrick -- and before the Chiefs were poised to win their eight consecutive division title.
In a 10-year span from 2006 to 2015, either the Broncos and Chargers won the AFC West nine times.
