Broncos overtake Chargers for 2nd place after Week 7

After a 33-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 7, the Denver Broncos are now in second place in the AFC West.

The Los Angeles Chargers lost to the Arizona Cardinals 17:15 Monday Night Football to close out Week 7, which allowed the Broncos to jump into second place.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated and lead the division after their 28-18 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The Las Vegas Raiders fell to 2-5 after a 20-15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Vegas also lost starting quarterback Aidan O’Connell on Sunday due to a broken thumb, so the Raiders will return to Gardner Minshew, who originally started the first five games of the season.

Here’s how the AFC West fares after seven games.

After hosting the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, the Broncos will play back-to-back road games against the Baltimore Ravens and Chiefs. The next three weeks could determine whether Denver has a chance to compete in the division this fall.
