The NFL is working its way through Week 6 and we’re seeing some division races tighten up and others turning into one-team races. The Chiefs opened the week with a win over the Broncos and are rolling in the AFC West. The Bengals beat the Seahawks and find themselves firmly back in the AFC North race.
The AFC South is getting interesting its own right. The Jaguars beat the Colts to take over first place in the division, but the Texans beat the Saints to remain a game back. Even the Titans are only two games back in spite of their loss to the Ravens.
