The Kansas City Chiefs are set to defend their AFC West crown but could one team push them right down to the wire?

Kansas City is preparing for a season that could end in a glorious ‘three-peat’.

The appropriate offseason moves have been sanctioned by the Chiefs.

Chiefs re-sign key players for the 2024 season

Brett Veach has brought back valuable defensive stars like Chris Jones and Mike Danna on new deals.

Moreover, Patrick Mahomes has a new weapon to use in Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire has also been re-signed to add depth at running back.

Chiefs Kingdom knows that they will be considered the team to beat once the 2024 season commences.

But could they be asked to defend their AFC West crown before a ‘three-peat’ is on the cards?

The Las Vegas Raiders and the Denver Broncos defeated the reigning Super Bowl champions within the division.

Antonio Pierce’s men bullied the Chiefs’ offensive line and pressured Mahomes like never before.

Kansas City finished with an excellent record of 4-2 against their division rivals.

However, for the Chiefs’ high standards, there is room for improvement.

Could the L.A. Charger pose a new threat to the Chiefs

The LA Chargers need a resurgence after finishing bottom of the AFC West and have taken their first steps to do so.

The Chargers have cleaned house and have a new head coach Jim Harbaugh in charge, who has a formidable record.

As a result, they also have a new offensive coordinator in the form of Greg Roman.

Chiefs may need to be wary of ‘epic’ offense in the division

Pro Football Talk reported that the run game coordinator Andy Bischoff said Roman used the word ‘epic’ in front of the players and reiterated it.

Quarterback Justin Herbert now has new coaches who will look to get the best out of their star man, but they are desperately short at wide receiver after trading Keenan Allen and losing Mike Williams in free agency.

Ultimately, the Chargers have the right mentality when undergoing a new era.

The Los Angeles-based franchise will have to oversee a dramatic improvement in performance if they are to come close to the Chiefs.

Chargers at the moment need to be eyeing up their closer competition, the Raiders and Broncos.

Whoever finishes second could earn a wildcard ticket to enter the playoffs.

Kansas City will be confident that the Chargers will not threaten their crown but will be wary of all their opponents.
