Horse Tracks: Competition in the AFC West is going to be severe this season

The Denver Broncos will face a tough division with the Chargers, Raiders, and Chiefs all taking steps forward

As excited as we are about the Denver Broncos and their trajectory, it is worth noting that they are going to face some really tough division games this season.

  • The Kansas City Chiefs are still led by the NFL’s best quarterback (/puke)
  • The Los Angeles Chargers are entering their second year with an excellent head coach in Jim Harbaugh
  • The Las Vegas Raiders landed Pete Carrol, who will instantly make that team tougher to beat

It isn’t far-fetched to think that all 4 teams will end the season with a winning record. I say bring it on. Iron sharpens iron. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I hope the Denver Broncos locker room thinks the same way. I want to see this team in big games against big-time opponents. That’s the only way they will grow to be champions again.
