Fans piled into Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to watch the 4-4 Kansas City Chiefs host the 3-5 Denver Broncos. Little did they know that not only were they getting to witness a battle between divisional rivals, they were also getting a front row seat to the circus.
Up and down and round and round the AFC West goes, who will end up on top, nobody knows.
The San Diego Chargers, after beginning the season 1-3, have found their way to the top of the division with a 5-4 record. They can thank the best field goal kicker in the NFL, Adam Vinatieri of the Indianapolis Colts, for missing a chip-shot game winning field goal in the final minute of the Chargers win over the Colts Sunday night. If Vinatieri makes the field, the AFC West has a three way tie for first place.
The Broncos defeated the Chiefs 27-11 and now both teams are sitting at 4-5. The Oakland Raiders, well, they are just being the Raiders. At the cellar of the West at 2-7.
It is the Broncos though that has stole the show so far.
One week the team comes out and competes with the 8-1 Green Bay Packers until the final minutes of the game, and should have won the game I would add, then the next week they get blown out by the now 6-3 Detroit Lions 44-7.
The Broncos beat the 7-2 Pittsburgh Steelers a week after they were embarrassed at home by the Chargers 41-3.
It is hard to say which Broncos team will take the field on Monday Night Football this week against the Tennessee Titans but I promise Bronco fans will be on the edge of their seat waiting to find out.
Even the Ringling Brothers think this will be a good circus the rest of the way.
