AFC West Week 7 preview and predictions: TNF battle for Broncos, Chiefs
By Brad Weiss
All four AFC West teams hit the field in Week 7, highlighted by a Thursday Night Football matchup between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs.
The week that was in the AFC West was pretty eye-opening, as the Kansas City Chiefs lost another home game to a potential AFC playoff contender. The Chiefs, fresh off a loss to the Indianapolis Colts in primetime in Week 5, lost to the Houston Texans in Week 6, and now hold only a half-game lead in the division.
On Thursday, they will look to get back on track on the road, as they travel to Denver to take on the Broncos in an AFC West battle. The Broncos are fresh off two straight victories, including a shutout at home this past weekend, where they made the Tennessee Titans bench quarterback Marcus Mariota.
In other AFC West news, the Raiders were off, but are coming into Sunday on a two-game winning streak. For the Los Angeles Chargers, it may be time to sound the alarm, after losing to a third-string quarterback on Sunday Night Football in Week 6.
Here is our look at the Week 7 slate in the AFC West.
