AFC Notes: George Karlaftis, Jaylen Waddle, Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders

Notes across the AFC highlight updates from the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, and Las Vegas Raiders following Week 5 action. Broncos head coach Sean Payton emphasized the need to get wide receiver Jaylen Waddle more touches after limited production. Meanwhile, the undefeated Chiefs are focusing on their pass rush ahead of facing the Chargers, and the Raiders are expanding third-year running back Dylan Laube's offensive role.

Waddle acknowledged he must execute more consistently after catching just two passes for 19 yards against the Chargers. For Kansas City, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and defensive end George Karlaftis praised the defensive front's accountability and relentless pressure on opposing passers. In Las Vegas, head coach Klint Kubiak highlighted Laube's ascending role on third downs and in pass protection.
