The AFC Wild Card standings are beginning to take shape, with the San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs leading the way into Week 14 of the NFL regular season.
Despite a loss in Week 13, the New England Patriots own the No. 1 spot in the AFC playoff picture thanks to a head-to-head win over the Denver Broncos, who are currently sitting in the No. 2 spot.

Outside of the top four spots, we have a big cluster of teams fighting for position in the AFC Wild Card standings.
There are seven teams with at least six wins entering Week 14, so it is crucial for the teams hoping to reach the postseason to continue their winning ways. The San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs currently hold the AFC Wild Card spots, but the Chargers have a brutal schedule down the stretch and the Chiefs have lost two games in a row.
Things are going to get very interesting in the final month of the season.
