Week 1 is upon us, which means all 32 NFL teams have reduced their rosters from 90 to 53 players. It's never an easy process for any of the parties involved, but once it's over everyone can focus on what lies ahead.
The Kansas City Chiefs will be the first team in the AFC West to start the 2017 season, with a Thursday night matchup against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. The Oakland Raiders will face the Tennessee Titans Sunday, and the Denver Broncos will go toe-to-toe on Monday Night Football with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Before the season gets underway, here's how the rosters break down around the division.
