With Week 10 over, the Chiefs lead in the AFC West has gotten a little bit more narrow. Here’s a look at the full NFL standings.

The Kansas City Chiefs had their bye week this week, meaning that the Las Vegas Raiders were able to gain ground on the Chiefs’ division lead with a win, which they were able to secure against the Denve rBroncos. This puts the Raiders just two games back from the Chiefs, making their matchup this week crucial in the race for the AFC West.

The Chiefs lost their last matchup against the Raiders in a close one by a final score of 40-32. Now, with a week’s rest under their belt, they are getting ready for a revenge meeting as they get ready to travel to Las Vegas to play in Allegiant Stadium for the first time.

Last week, the Raiders took on the Broncos and came away with a commanding win. They were carried by two solid performances by their running backs Josh Jacobs and Devontae Booker. Jacobs rushed 21 times for 112 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Booker rushed 16 times for 81 yards and 2 touchdowns. Because of this stellar running game, the Raiders didn’t need to pass much as they coasted to a 37-12 win.

For the Broncos, the game was a much different story. Quarterback Drew Lock passed 47 times, completing 23 of his passes for 257 yards, 1 touchdown, and 4 interceptions. During the game, Lock sustained a rib injury and is now in danger of missing next week’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Falling behind early, the Broncos never really established much of a running game and were ultimately smothered by the Raiders.

Elsewhere in the AFC West, the Los Angeles Chargers took on the Miami Dolphins for a showdown between rookie quarterbacks Justin Herbert and Tua Tagovailoa. Herbert had yet another solid game for the Chargers, completing 20/32 passes for 187 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. But Tagovailoa performed admirably for the Dolphins as well, completing 15/25 passes for 169 yards and 2 touchdowns. Ultimately, Tagovailoa won the duel and the Chargers lost 29-21.
