KC beats LAC 22–6 behind two K. Walker rushing touchdowns

Walker gives KC an early cushion

KC scored the first nine points at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, beginning with a 44-yard field goal with 11:25 remaining in the first quarter. K. Walker then supplied the game’s first touchdown, scoring on a 33-yard run with 7:29 left.

The ensuing extra-point attempt failed, leaving KC ahead 9–0. LAC answered with a 23-yard field goal at 1:38, cutting the deficit to six points. That completed the opening quarter’s scoring, with both teams having put points on the board.

KC adds 10 points before halftime

Both starting quarterbacks threw interceptions in the second quarter. Justin Herbert’s interception at 10:59 was returned 48 yards without a touchdown. Patrick Mahomes was then intercepted at 8:37, with no return yardage. The score remained 9–3 through those exchanges.

Walker scored again on a two-yard run with 1:53 remaining before halftime. This time, KC made the extra point to extend its lead to 16–3. A 50-yard field goal with seven seconds left added another three points, completing a 10-point second quarter and sending KC into halftime ahead 19–3.

LAC trims the deficit with a field goal

LAC added its second field goal with 10:48 remaining in the third quarter, converting from 30 yards. That reduced KC’s advantage to 13 points, but neither side scored again during the period. LAC entered the fourth quarter trailing 19–6, with its scoring still limited to two field goals.

Tranquill’s recovery precedes the final points

With 9:50 left in the fourth quarter, a Herbert pass play to K. Lambert-Smith lost one yard and ended in a fumble recovered by KC’s D. Tranquill. KC later made a 30-yard field goal at 3:56, supplying the only points of the final quarter.

There was no further scoring. KC had possession when the game ended in regulation, completing a 22–6 victory. Walker’s two rushing touchdowns were the game’s only touchdowns, while LAC finished without reaching the end zone.
