Chiefs Move to 5-0 as Kenneth Walker Runs for Two TDs in a 22-6 Win over Chargers

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Running back Kenneth Walker III rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns while quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for 272 yards.
With the victory, Kansas City improved to 5-0 and remained the lone unbeaten team in the AFC. Los Angeles fell to 0-6, marking the franchise's worst start since the 2000 season when they lost their first 11 games.
Kansas City's defensive line snapped a three-game sack drought, recording its first sack in more than 15 quarters. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes earned his 100th win as a starting quarterback during the dominant performance.
Wide receiver Xavier Worthy contributed 73 yards on seven catches despite injuries to key receivers. Los Angeles managed only 259 total yards of offense, with Cameron Dicker kicking two field goals in the losing effort.
Kansas City visits Seattle next Sunday night to extend its unbeaten streak. Los Angeles uses its upcoming bye week to regroup after struggling offensively throughout the season.
