Here are the AFC West Power Rankings heading into Week 3.

4. Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders were the victims of a strong Chargers performance on Monday. Pete Carroll understood the assignment when becoming head coach, but it has to be frustrating to be in this stacked division.

3. Denver Broncos

If you ask a Denver Broncos fan about the outcome of their Week 2 loss, they'll probably be ready to throw hands. The Broncos were honestly robbed of their second win, but that can't be changed now. Bo Nix and company are still looking up in the division.

2. Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are 0-2, yet we still have them second in the divisional power rankings. It would be unwise to say this team is cooked this early in the season. But another loss in Week 3 could earn them the last spot in the rankings.
