KANSAS CITY — There is an argument to be made that the AFC West is the best division in the NFL.
There is little argument to be made that the Chiefs are the class of it.
After dispatching the Raiders on a frigid night at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs are tied with them for the lead at 10-3 with three games left in the regular season. But they hold the tiebreaker thanks to two head-to-head wins over Oakland, which could loom large down the stretch.
For the division title, sure. But also for a first-round bye in the playoffs.
