Kenneth Walker Reaches Career High in Total Touchdowns

Walker caught two touchdown passes from Patrick Mahomes as Kansas City took a 14-12 halftime lead over New York. The scores brought his season total to 10, a career first: six touchdowns on the ground and four through the air for the Chiefs.

His first score came on a seven-yard reception early in the second quarter. Later, Walker caught a 25-yard touchdown pass that gave Kansas City a 14-9 lead. Jets kicker Jason Sanders then made a 54-yard field goal.

Walker had two receiving touchdowns over his first four years with the Seattle Seahawks, with one in each of the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He began his NFL career in Seattle in 2022 before joining Kansas City this season.

The running back signed a three-year contract with the Chiefs worth up to $45 million. In his rookie season, he recorded 1,050 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. This season, he is on pace to surpass both career bests, while also adding a receiving threat to Kansas City’s offense.
