With six weeks to go in the NFL's regular season, the Denver Broncos are firmly in the driver's seat in their division. Earning a 30-23 win over the San Diego Chargers over the weekend was enough to give them a three-game lead over the second-place team in the AFC West.
Both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders lost over the weekend as well, dropping down even farther in the one-team division race. Denver is the only team in the AFC West that has a winning-streak going right now, having taken their last five games. San Diego has lost two in a row, Oakland has lost three in a row and Kansas City has not won since their overtime victory against the Saints way back in Week 3.
Here are the standings for the AFC West:
| Denver Broncos | 7-3 |
| San Diego Chargers | 4-6 |
| Oakland Raiders | 3-7 |
| Kansas City Chiefs | 1-9 |
