A packed stadium at night, lights and turf in color. News photograph.

Kansas City opened the season 31-10 over Denver on Monday night at Arrowhead. Kenneth Walker III: 23 carries, 173 yards, a rushing score, a receiving score. Patrick Mahomes, first game nine months after tearing the left ACL and LCL, ran in from 15 yards. The Sports desk files a rout, not a reunion.

Bo Nix sat on the turf after a strip-sack. Denver could not tackle, could not run, could not find a rhythm. The Chiefs piled up 220 rushing yards. First win of any kind in 295 days. Sean Payton’s offseason good vibes took a battering ram. Week 1 is in the books.

Walker came as advertised.
