And don’t count the upward moving AFC west in the ‘gimme’ win column.
The Chargers were the second-ranked offense in the league last year, the Chiefs and the Raiders are both on their way upward, and the Broncos don’t have Josh McDaniels making inexplicable personnel moves this year, so they should start catching up.
