What happened: The same Kenneth Walker III who ran hard in his Chiefs debut handled 16 touches with all 14 rushes gaining yardage. He averaged 6.4 yards per carry as Kansas City led Denver by a score at halftime.
Why it matters: Early-down production at Arrowhead stabilized the offense in a divisional home game.
By the numbers: 83 yards with a 23-yard breakaway; 16 touches for 105 scrimmage yards, a first-half 4 per carry.
What to watch: Second-half carry share and explosive run rate are the markers to track.
