Chiefs 22, Chargers 6: Kenneth Walker III's two touchdowns carry Kansas City
Walker ran for 128 yards and both Chiefs touchdowns as Kansas City held Los Angeles to two field goals at Arrowhead.
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, with running back Kenneth Walker III supplying both touchdowns. Yahoo Sports reports the win moved Kansas City to 5-0.
How the scoring went
According to Yahoo's account, Kansas City took control early. Harrison Butker kicked a 44-yard field goal in the first quarter, then Walker broke a 33-yard run for the first touchdown of the game. Butker missed the extra point, leaving the Chiefs up 9-0. Cameron Dicker answered for the Chargers with a 23-yard field goal at the end of the quarter to make it 9-3.
Walker scored again from the goal line in the second quarter to extend the lead to 16-3, and Butker added a 50-yard field goal before halftime, putting Kansas City up 19-3 at the break.
The second half was quiet. Dicker kicked a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter to cut it to 19-6, and Butker's 30-yarder in the fourth set the final margin.
The numbers that mattered
Walker rushed for 128 yards. Patrick Mahomes went 23-for-30 for 272 yards with one interception, per Yahoo. The Chargers' only points came on two Dicker field goals, so Los Angeles never reached the end zone.
The source does not identify a single turning point, and Torch will not invent one. What the scoring shows is that the Chiefs built a 16-point lead by halftime, and the Chargers never got closer than 13 after that.
What it means
For Kansas City, the result was another win built on a run game that produced both touchdowns and a defence that gave up six points. Butker's missed extra point and Mahomes' interception were the blemishes, but neither affected the outcome.
For Los Angeles, scoring only six points on the road is a hard result to explain away. The Chargers' record was not stated in the source we read, so we are leaving it out.
