Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 01:02 · Archive

Kenneth Walker ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns as Kansas City defeated Los Angeles 22-6 to remain unbeaten.

Kenneth Walker ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns, and Patrick Mahomes passed for 272 yards as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 on Sunday. Xavier Worthy caught seven passes for 73 yards and Travis Kelce five for 53. The victory improved Kansas City to 5-0, keeping them among the NFL's only three unbeaten teams alongside San Francisco and Minnesota, both also 5-0 and on their bye week. Los Angeles remained winless at 0-6.

Walker, who leads the NFL in rushing, scored on a 33-yard run in the early stages and added a 2-yard touchdown plunge later in the first half. The Chargers' offence struggled, with Justin Herbert passing for 204 yards and an interception while the team managed just 259 total yards of offense. Kansas City's performance was also unpolished, as the team had short-yardage problems and kicker Harrison Butker missed a point-after attempt and a field goal.

The Chiefs played without injured wide receivers Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton. The Chargers, similarly injury-plagued, turned the ball over twice. This was the first meeting between the AFC West rivals since December, when Mahomes tore ligaments in his left knee in a game that eliminated Kansas City from playoff contention. The Chargers won both games against Kansas City last season.
