Kenneth Walker III is currently leading the NFL in rushing yards and yards from scrimmage after the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the Indianapolis Colts on 'Sunday Night Football.'

While one game remains on the league's Week 2 schedule — a 'Monday Night Football' showdown between the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams

— Walker's outstanding production with the Chiefs has propelled him into the MVP conversation.

In Kansas City's first two games at Arrowhead Stadium, Walker has gained 290 rushing yards and 369 yards from scrimmage, and became the team's first running back since 2021 to rush for 100 or more yards in back-to-back games, according to Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen:

Ken Walker is the first member of the Chiefs to rush for

100+ yards in back-to-back games since Clyde Edwards-Helaire did so in 2021. Through two weeks, Walker leads the NFL in rushing yards (290) and scrimmage yards (369).

While it remains to be seen if Walker can maintain his torrid pace on the stat sheet, fans in Kansas City can look forward to seeing a heavy dose of the Super Bowl LX MVP in the Chiefs' Week 3 matchup against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on September 27.
