AFC West Is Carousel Of Crazy: Broncos Doing To Chiefs What Raiders Did To Broncos

Three weeks ago, the Raiders built a 38-0 lead at Denver en route to a 59-14 shellacking of Josh McDaniels' seemingly listless squad. Now, the Broncos are returning the favor ... to the Chiefs?

Stunningly, the AFC West leaders are getting mauled at Mile High, going down 35-0 in the second quarter before a late Jamaal Charles touchdown catch and a Ryan Succop field goal narrowed the margin to 35-7 before halftime. Kyle Orton has thrown for three touchdowns and 203 yards, and is within shouting distance of a perfect quarterback rating, and Tim Tebow ran for a one-yard touchdown, his third of the season.

As for the nuttiness that is the NFL's craziest division, it would seem that the next logical step would be the Chiefs administering a beatdown to the Chargers, but San Diego's already lost at Arrowhead and doesn't welcome the Chiefs to Southern California until Week 14. But if the weirdness is all about the inconsistent Broncos being up and down at home, well, the Chargers roll into town for a Monday night clash next week.
