What to know
The Kansas City Chiefs are 3-0 for the fifth time under Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs have out-gained opponents by +415 total net yards this season, their second-highest total net yards differential through three games of a season all-time (+464 in 1962). Kansas City has compiled 1,249 total net yards this season compared to 947 through three games last season.
A large component of that yardage has been new addition and reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III. The running back leads the NFL in rushing yards (360) while ranking third in scrimmage yards (442) and tied for sixth in scrimmage touchdowns (4) entering Week 4.
"He's playing like one of the best backs in the NFL, so we have a good challenge," said Head Coach Klint Kubiak, who spent last season calling plays for Walker in Seattle.
Yet even as the Raiders work to limit Walker's impact, the bigger challenge may still be Mahomes. The 10th-year quarterback has recorded 36 career passing touchdowns against the Raiders, his most against any single opponent. Mahomes also has single opponent career highs in passing yards (4,427), passing first downs (221) and completions of 25+ yards (42) against Las Vegas. Through three games this season, he has thrown for 812 yards and seven touchdowns with a 68.4% completion percentage.
