Associated Press, via CBS Sports, Kansas City, Sept. 14–15: Kansas City 31, Denver 10. Kenneth Walker III, in his Chiefs debut, 23 carries, 173 yards, two rushing touchdowns, plus three catches for 18. AP: most rushing yards by a Chief since Jamaal Charles’s 226 against Indianapolis in 2012. Walker’s deal: three years, $43.05 million.

Patrick Mahomes, brace on the surgically repaired left knee: 184 passing yards, two touchdowns, and a 15-yard rushing score to cap the opening drive. Rashee Rice TD made it 14–7 at half. Walker’s 60-yard run on fourth-and-1 opened the third. A shovel from the 2 finished it. Bo Nix: 131 yards, an interception, a lost fumble. Jaylen Waddle: one catch, two yards. Evan Engram: four for 43 and Denver’s only touchdown. Broncos: 176 yards of offense.

Line: Chiefs 1–0. Broncos 0–1. Denver hosts Jacksonville Sunday. Kansas City hosts Indianapolis Sunday night. We will not invent those.

What this means for you

If you needed 42 firsts, that was last night. If you needed Monday Night, it is 31–10. If you needed Waddle’s splash, he had 2 yards.

Bottom line: 31–10. Walker 173. Nix two turnovers. A final.
