4. Los Angeles Chargers (7-3)
The LA Chargers are now 7-3 on the year after a primetime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers are now without Joe Alt, so the offense could take a dip in production, as their current offensive line might be the worst in the NFL.
Justin Herbert has also already thrown eight interceptions in his 10 games this year. He threw 10 in his previous 30 games, so he's putting the ball in harm's way a lot more. He's been sacked 33 times already, so this OL could really prevent them from doing a whole lot else this year.
3. New England Patriots (8-2)
Winning over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10, the New England Patriots may have just proved that they are indeed legitimate. They have still played a soft schedule, and that isn't going to change, and they are 8-2 for a reason. Drake Maye might just be an MVP candidate, and Mike Vrabel is surely a top favorite for the Coach of the Year award.
The Pats are third in our power rankings and do just about everything well.
2. Denver Broncos (8-2)
The Denver Broncos have won seven games in a row after a shaky 1-2 start to begin the season. The pass rush is on pace to finish with the most sacks by a team in the history in the NFL. The offense has absolutely been an issue this year, but all the Broncos need from that unit is average play, and this team could win it all.
Denver is no. 2 in our AFC power rankings and host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. With a win over KC, the Broncos really make it tough for them to win the AFC West this year. Many have circled that game as one the biggest in the history of the NFL.
1. Indianapolis Colts (8-2)
The Indianapolis Colts are still the best team in the AFC, but this team hasn't played all that well over the past two games. The Pittsburgh Steelers embarrassed them in Week 9, and Daniel Jones couldn't stop turning the ball over.
They didn't have an easy time against the Atlanta Falcons, and they needed overtime to put them away. With a tough slate of games remaining, some have wondered if the Colts are going to begin stacking losses. It really would not shock me, but to this point, they feel like the best and most complete team in the AFC.
