Staggering how absolutely legitimately loaded the AFC is with absolute class football teams.
In no particular order, teams that can legit dream on coming out of the conference to varying degrees -
KC, Chargers, Jax, Miami, Buffalo, Bengals, Ravens, Jets?
and then legit darkhorse teams that have a puncher's chance
Steelers (I can't count them out), a Sean Peyton rejuvinated Broncos team, Browns
And that's not counting teams that loaded up w/ interesting new QBs to make this conference even more challenging - Colts, Texans and sorta the Titans.
Just...wow.
