Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III took charge Sunday against the New York Jets with two first-half touchdown receptions. He added a third on the ground later in the game. Walker rushed 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns through the air.

Walker had nine rushes for 53 yards in the first two-and-a-half quarters. In a third quarter dominated by Kansas City, Walker repeatedly broke off runs for 10-plus yards to move the chains. It was Walker’s best game in three weeks after the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos contained him for 105 yards on 35 carries.

Walker played sparingly in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs cruised to a 35-12 win at home. The Chiefs (6-2) will travel to face the Atlanta Falcons Sunday in Week 10.
