Seahawks Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III has dominating Chiefs debut

Kenneth Walker III delivered a commanding performance in his first official appearance with Kansas City, taking the field against the Denver Broncos on Monday night, September 14, 2026. The running back achieved a milestone during the opening two quarters that had eluded every Kansas City rusher across a full contest dating back to 2021.

Prior to joining the squad, Walker claimed Super Bowl MVP honors while leading Seattle past New England for a championship, prompting Kansas City to sign him to a three-year deal worth $43.05 million.

The investment followed a difficult prior season where Kansas City finished with only six victories and saw Patrick Mahomes suffer a torn ACL, causing the club to miss the postseason after three straight trips to the title match. Walker, who was limited to merely a small number of snaps during exhibition play, wore jersey number 9 during the Arrowhead Stadium showdown and swiftly anchored the team's reconfigured ground game.
