What happened: Kansas City finished this one with a 31-10 final, and Walker began his Chiefs tenure in that same result. Walker was already a storyline in his Chiefs debut before the night was over.

Why it matters: A 31-10 finish suggests the Chiefs had real control, not just one lucky swing. If Walker is already part of what stands out in that kind of win, he gives Kansas City a more dangerous offensive ceiling than people want to admit.
