The Kansas City Chiefs have something they haven't had in years: a dangerous rushing attack — and Kenneth Walker has completely changed what defenses have to account for.
But while Walker has unlocked another dimension for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense, Kansas City also has a weakness the Las Vegas Raiders may be uniquely equipped to exploit.
Sterling Holmes, host of the Arrowhead Addict Podcast and co-host of The Zone on Sports Radio 810 in Kansas City, joins Jesse Merrick to break down Raiders vs. Chiefs from the Kansas City perspective.
Walker isn't just producing on the ground. His presence is forcing defenses to respect the run, creating opportunities off play action and making life easier for Mahomes. Sterling explains why this version of the Chiefs offense feels different — and what the Raiders have to do to slow it down.
On the other side, there's an intriguing matchup that could swing things in Vegas' favor. Sterling sees a significant advantage for Maxx Crosby and the Raiders pass rush against Kansas City's offensive tackles, and the Chiefs also have to figure out how they're going to deal with Brock Bowers.
