AFC West standings: How division looks after Chiefs, Broncos wins and Chargers loss originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here. In the first few weeks of the NFL season, it appeared that there would be a changing of the guard in the AFC West.

The New York Jets likely took the Cincinnati Bengals out of the AFC North hunt with their upset win. The Dallas Cowboys' playoff chances took a massive hit with their loss to the Denver Broncos, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear to be cruising toward their fifth straight NFC South title.

Although they may count the same, not all wins in the NFL are created equal. With week-by-week updates, which five teams are currently the most overrated?

The Chiefs may be Super Bowl-bound once again, but each confounding loss has been a reality check related to an imperfect roster. As the rest of the division tries to play catch-up -- or clings to its early-season lead -- each team has reason to look forward to the 2026 NFL Draft. Let's examine where these rosters might need improvement come April.

Who will represent the AFC and NFC in the Super Bowl? See the odds now that we've reached the midway point of the NFL season.

The other name to keep an eye on is Jakobi Meyers, who wants out of Las Vegas and whose name has consistently been linked to the Steelers. Sources tell me there is legitimacy on a Meyers to Pittsburgh deal, though other teams have inquired about the Raiders wide out.

This is why "decision day" around the NFL will go down to the wire. Entering Week 9, 13 teams have recorded at least five wins this season -- the third-most through Week 8 since 1970. There's a lot of parity in the league, as is evidenced by how the playoff races are panning out throughout the divisions.

The Baltimore Ravens won't finish Week 9 in a playoff position, but they did put more pressure on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North with Thursday's win over the Miami Dolphins.
