Two AFC West opponents in consecutive weeks, both at home. Let’s take a look at the 2016 Chiefs.
To start their division play, the Raiders see back to back home games against AFC West opponents in the Chargers and Chiefs. In doing so, they could be facing their top competitor for the division crown, making this game a big one.
Record: 11-5
Offense rank: 27
Defense rank: 7
Much like last year’s AFC division winner and eventual Super Bowl champion Broncos, the Chiefs were led by the strength of their defense. Their offense merely hung around and gave them a fighting chance.
