The Las Vegas Raiders are the only team in the AFC West to pick up a win in week 7 as the Broncos and Chiefs both lose while the Chargers are idle.

The Las Vegas Raiders are officially in first in the AFC West, and oh how sweet that is to say.  The Las Vegas Raiders welcomed to Philadelphia Eagles to Allegiant Stadium on Sunday and promptly sent them back with a loss.

The Kansas City Chiefs are still in last place in the division despite the Denver Broncos’ four-game losing streak due to their blowout loss to the Tennessee Titans 27-3.  Speaking of the Broncos, they took on the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, well kind of.

The Browns were missing a ton of starters on offense and still were able to pull off a 17-14 victory over the Broncos.  The Los Angeles Chargers were on a bye this week but still fell to second in the division after the Raiders victory.  They take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at home next week Sunday.

Since I’ve given you an overview of what’s happened this week here is a deeper look at each game within the AFC West.
