AFC West Grades: A change at the bottom

Maybe the Chiefs aren’t so perfect after all?

The past two weeks have been illuminating for Raiders fans who have come to the realization that the Chiefs are vulnerable atop the AFC West, with Oakland only a half game out of first place. The recipe that the Colts and Texans have followed to beat Kansas City in back-to-back weeks is as followed:

Step 1: Control the clock with a strong running game

Step 2: Play tight, man-to-man coverage to hinder Andy Reid from exploiting zone concepts

Step 3: Pray that Mahomes doesn’t beat you anyway

With Josh Jacobs and the Raider offensive line firing on all cylinders, taking care of Step 1 on that list is very doable for the Silver & Black.
