The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New York Jets, 35-12, on Sunday to move to 6-2 on the year.

Here are some quick notes from the win.

1. Tailback Ken Walker recorded three touchdowns on Sunday.

Walker was tremendous once again on Sunday, finding the end zone three times as Kansas City piled up its highest point total of the season.

The performance marked Walker's fifth game this season with multiple touchdowns from scrimmage, which leads the NFL, and his second career game with three or more total scores.

Walker's 11 scrimmage touchdowns are tied with Jahmyr Gibbs for the most in the league (on 26 fewer touches than Gibbs), and despite playing in just eight games so far, Walker has already matched the highest touchdown total for any member of the Chiefs since 2022 (when tight end Travis Kelce recorded 12 scores from scrimmage).

2. Walker is the first member of the Chiefs to top 1,000 scrimmage yards since 2023.

In addition to his three touchdowns, Walker amassed 143 yards from scrimmage on Sunday, marking his league-leading fifth game this season with at least 130 scrimmage yards.

Walker now has 1,044 scrimmage yards for the season, making him the first member of the Chiefs to top 1,000 scrimmage yards since Isiah Pacheco did so in 2023. He's also the first Chief to hit the 1,000-yard mark prior to Week 10 since tailback Kareem Hunt tallied 1,131 scrimmage yards through Week 9 in 2017.

Only Jahmyr Gibbs (1,132), Bijan Robinson (1,130) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (1,065) have more scrimmage yards than Walker in 2026.

3. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes tossed multiple touchdown passes for the sixth time this season.

Mahomes threw two touchdowns on Sunday, and while it wasn't reflected in the box score, he essentially threw three, although his 1-yard toss to tight end Travis Kelce technically went in the stat sheet as a rush for Kelce.

Regardless, the performance was Mahomes' sixth this season with multiple touchdown passes, and the 86th of his career, which leads the NFL (by nine games) since 2018.

4. Tailback Emmett Johnson returned to the end zone for the second week in a row.

Johnson, a week after compiling the best game of his young career, was back at it on Sunday with another trip to the end zone.

The rookie tailback rushed for 34 yards on just six carries (averaging 5.7 yards-per-attempt) and put an exclamation point on the Chiefs' overall day with a 6-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.

Overall, Kansas City rushed for 163 yards on Sunday, marking its fifth game this season with 150+ rushing yards as a team.

5. Tight end Travis Kelce recorded a pair of explosive plays.

Kelce hauled in four catches for 72 yards on Sunday (while also chipping in a 1-yard rushing touchdown on a backward pass).

That effort included a pair of explosive plays that each led to points. First, Kelce corralled a 17-yard reception on 3rd-and-10 on Kansas City's second possession that helped turn the tide of the game. Keep in mind, the Jets already had six points and five first downs before Kansas City moved the chains at all on Sunday. Kelce's 17-yard grab acted as a drive-starter for the Chiefs' initial scoring series, and as the game played out, the rest was history.

Secondly, Kelce tallied a 38-yard reception late in the third quarter that eventually led to Walker's third touchdown of the day.

For the game, 56 of Kelce's 72 receiving yards took place after the catch on Sunday, marking the fourth time this season that the All-Pro tight end has surpassed the 75% threshold in terms of yards after-the-catch ratio.

6. Kansas City scored 30+ points for the fourth time this year.

The Chiefs' collective offensive efforts led to a season-high 35 points on Sunday, marking the fourth time this season that Kansas City hit the 30-point mark (doing so in just eight games).

That tally is already the highest in a single season for Kansas City since 2022, when the Chiefs scored 30+ points on eight occasions. In the time since, Kansas City scored 30+ points three times in 2023, twice in 2024 and three times in 2025.

A major reason behind the Chiefs' strong offensive showing on Sunday was their red zone touchdown efficiency, where Kansas City went a perfect 4-for-4.

7. The defense held the opposition without a touchdown for the second time this season.

Kansas City held the Jets out of the end zone throughout Sunday's game, instead yielding just four field goals (while holding New York to an 0-for-2 mark in terms of red zone touchdown efficiency).

It was the second time this year that Kansas City held the opposition without a touchdown, and the second-straight home game in which the Chiefs did so after Kansas City prevented the Chargers from finding the end zone back in Week 6.

Notably, following the Jets' 64-yard scoring drive to begin the game, New York mustered just 165 yards of offense throughout the remainder of the contest. In the third quarter, specifically, the Jets recorded a grand total of -13 net yards across two possessions.

The Chiefs are one of just three teams to record multiple outings without allowing a touchdown, joining the Rams (3) and Seahawks (2).

8. Kansas City racked up a season-high five sacks on the day.

Part of the Chiefs' stifling defensive performance on Sunday was their ability to tally a season-high five sacks.

Defensive linemen George Karlaftis (2.0), Chris Jones (2.0) and Ashton Gillotte (1.0) each contributed to that total as the Chiefs, as a team, pressured Jets' quarterback Geno Smith on 50.0% of his dropbacks according to Next Gen Stats.

Jones recorded a season-high six pressures on 29 pass-rush snaps while Karlaftis filled the stat sheet with three tackles-for-loss, two sacks and a batted pass at the line of scrimmage.

9. Defensive tackle Chris Jones made some franchise history on Sunday.

Jones now has 90.5 sacks over the course of his incredible career, moving him past Tamba Hali for the second-most in franchise history.

Only the legendary Derrick Thomas, with 126.5 sacks, got to the quarterback more times than Jones in Chiefs history.

10. Kansas City has now matched its win total from all of last season.

The Chiefs' standard under Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes is to consistently compete for Super Bowl championships, but in the context of last season – when Kansas City went just 6-11 – it's worth pointing out that this year's team already matched the win total from all of 2025 on Sunday.

Kansas City was 5-4 through Week 9 last year, and now at 6-2 a year later, the Chiefs are in a much better position to chase down their goals in 2026. It's just a matter of stacking wins, and Kansas City will aim to do just that with a road trip to Atlanta up next.
