Around the AFC West: Chiefs remain on top after thriller

Denver Broncos

As I just said, the Russell Wilson experiment is a failure. I had the good fortune of working remotely last week and visiting my roommate from law school. I was out and about in the Lutsen Mountains on Thursday, enjoying a fancy dinner and a great glass of wine instead of tuning into the HORROR SHOW that was Colts vs. Broncos. Look, I get that it is Halloween season but NO ONE asked for that.

That was not football. Neither team could do anything offensively and then the teams had the gall to go into overtime. At least Broncos fans understood that overtime was offensive:

On the Amazon broadcast, Richard Sherman got it right:

Russell Wilson was once a great quarterback. He is not anymore. Couple that with a questionable first year head coach and you have a recipe for disaster. I can’t even call what we watched “football” because I think the rule is that you have to score one touchdown (although I am an Iowa Hawkeyes fan and that “rule” is being questioned a lot this year).

Regardless, the Broncos look horrid. They are headed straight to the bottom of the division because I fully expect the Raiders to figure things out and at least make third place interesting. For the Broncos, they aren’t going anywhere except to Cabo in January.

As noted, the Broncos take on the Chargers on Monday Night Football next week. Unless the football gods decide to play games with us, I expect the Broncos to get blown out of the water and for me to quickly flip to House of the Dragon on HBO. They just cannot compete with the injury-riddled Chargers. But, divisional games are weird so maybe they keep it interesting? I doubt it.
