AFC West: Trench Season Breakdown. That's Gotta Hurt...

For a decade, the AFC West meant one thing — Kansas City. Division title. Playoffs. Patrick Mahomes. Rinse and repeat. Oh, and the Pop Star and TE!In 2025, that script got shredded.The Chiefs missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014 and finished with a losing record for the first time since 2012. The Denver Broncos finished 14-3 and won the division behind the most dominant defensive trench unit in the entire NFL — a 204 DL TPR, number one in the league. The Los Angeles Chargers finished 11-5 chasing Denver all season. And the Las Vegas Raiders? A 3 OL TPR. Three. The worst offensive line in professional football.4 teams. 4 wildly different trench identities. And a division that looked nothing like anyone expected.TrenchPowerRating breaks down the AFC West from the trenches up — and this one has a story worth telling. A dynasty that crumbled up front. A Broncos defensive line that was genuinely historic. A Chargers unit that did just enough. And a Raiders offensive line so broken it redefined what a bad trench unit looks like.We score every offensive and defensive line as a unit on the things that actually sustain and stall drives — Rush and Pass First Downs, Sacks, Yards per Carry, 3 & Outs, Yards per Pass Attempt. Indexed to 100. Built in collaboration with Syracuse University's Falk College of Sport.The AFC West finally changed hands in 2025. TPR will tell you exactly why — and what every team did this offseason to stake their claim in 2026.Free. Weekly.
