Kansas City’s offense wasted little time showing its potential in the season opener. New running back Kenneth Walker III made an immediate impact after arriving from Seattle, rushing for 173 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries while adding three receptions for 18 yards and another score in the Chiefs’ 31-10 win over Denver. Walker’s 60-yard touchdown run highlighted a dominant debut and gave the Chiefs the explosive rushing threat they lacked last season.

That development only makes life easier for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who now has another elite playmaker alongside his receiving corps. The Colts face a difficult challenge after struggling to contain Baltimore’s ground game in Week 1, an issue they must correct against a Chiefs offense capable of attacking in multiple ways.

Indianapolis counters with quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Jonathan Taylor. The Colts will likely try to establish the run early and keep Mahomes on the sideline, but they’ll need greater consistency in pass protection and on defense to stay within striking distance.

An 0-2 start for Indianapolis would be brutal in an AFC conference that has plenty of teams competing for seven playoff spots.
