AFC West burning questions: Aaron Rodgers to Denver? How will Chiefs respond to Super Bowl loss?

When it comes to the standings, it was largely the status quo in the AFC West in 2020. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were able to cruise to a 14-2 record en-route to a Super Bowl appearance, while the rest of the clubs were either .500 or below. While you may look at that on its face and expect similar outcomes this coming season, this division could be raising its competitiveness in a major way in 2021. Already, the Los Angeles Chargers look like a team on the rise following the arrival of reigning Rookie of the Year Justin Herbert, and more quarterback moves could be on the horizon to make the AFC West that much more of a gauntlet (more on that in a little bit).
