Kansas City Chiefs Dominate PFF's Team of the Week

The Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) were in cruise control on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers (0-6).

The 22-6 final score didn’t reflect how thoroughly the Chiefs dominated the game. They outgained Los Angeles 422-259, and poor red zone execution was the only reason they didn’t hang over 30 points on their AFC West rivals. This was a thorough beatdown inside Arrowhead Stadium.

While that dominance wasn’t reflected in the final score, it was acknowledged by Pro Football Focus. PFF released its Week 6 Team of the Week on Monday, and the Chiefs were well-represented. Kansas City had five players on the Team of the Week, the most of any team in football this week.

Which Chiefs were named to PFF’s Week 6 Team of the Week?

Kenneth Walker III was named the running back of the week following another huge performance. He had 19 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Walker now leads the NFL in rushing yards and yards per carry through six weeks. He’s been one of the best free agent signings in football this season.

Kansas City had a pair of offensive linemen named to the team. Left guard Kingsley Suamataia and right guard Trey Smith were acknowledged by PFF. They helped pave the way for Walker to run wild and kept Patrick Mahomes clean all afternoon. The Chiefs have one of the best young offensive lines in the NFL.

Defensively, George Karlaftis got the nod at edge rusher from PFF. He finished the game with six total tackles, two tackles for loss, two passes defended, and his first sack of the season. Karlaftis has been dominating the past few weeks and finally got rewarded on Sunday. He’s a massive part of Steve Spagnuolo’s defense.

Lastly, L’Jarius Sneed was named one of the cornerbacks of the week by PFF. He had five total tackles and a pass defense against the Chargers. He eliminated one side of the field by himself, looking like the Sneed that Chiefs fans got so accustomed to seeing in recent years. Kansas City will look for him to build on this performance going forward.

The Chiefs will be back in action on Sunday night when they travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. CST on NBC.
