Week 13 of the 2019 NFL season is upon us, and in the AFC West, a battle for first place will take place on Sunday inside Arrowhead Stadium.

The AFC West will feature two battles during the Week 13 NFL slate, as the Los Angeles Chargers head to Denver to take on the Broncos, and the Oakland Raiders head to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. The Chiefs and Raiders game will be the marquee game of the week, as first place in the division is on the line.

For the Chargers and Broncos, this has been a lot season, and a lot of changes will be coming this offseason. This week, a report came down that the Chargers will be moving on from franchise quarterback Philip Rivers, who is 38-years old, and has a contract that is expiring after the season.

The Oakland and Kansas City matchup should be a good one, as long as the Raiders actually come to play this week. In Week 12, the Raiders were drubbed by the lowly New York Jets inside MetLife Staidum, but you have to believe they will come out fired up in this one.

Here is our Week 13 preview for the AFC West.
