The AFC West is collectively the worst division in the NFL right now. Do they have potential to be better? Yes, certainly. But they aren't playing like it as of Week 5.
As a whole, defense has been the main detriment for these four teams.
Oakland has continued its struggles in all aspects of the game, while Kansas City has been unable to realize its potential under quarterback Matt Cassel.
The top two teams, Denver and San Diego, have underperformed greatly and are not as good as I had originally thought coming into the season.
The Chargers have had inconsistency in their backfield, and the Broncos defense has been unable to stop anyone in the first half of games. That's put Peyton Manning into holes even he couldn't dig his new team out of.
Things may change before year's end, but it doesn't look like it for the AFC West.
