Who knew switching up the QB's turns the AFC West into a complete 4-way race for the playoffs and makes so many teams average at around 7-8 to 9-6

There's 11 teams still in contention for the playoffs in the AFC (any team 7-8 or higher) ... THREE teams will get in with 8 wins or less

9 teams still in contention for the playoffs in the NFC (although only one is 7-8 compared to a ton in the AFC that are still right in it at 7-8)

Mahomes even leading in TDs in the video game.
