The Chiefs stay perfect thanks to new hero - NFL Sunday Review
Hey, you've gotta hear this. The Chiefs are still perfect, man. They're 4-0 now, and Patrick Mahomes is just doing his thing, but it's this new guy, Kenneth Walker III, who's really changing things for them. He's running all over the place.
Seriously, Walker had 177 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders. He's the leading rusher in the league right now, which is wild. Mahomes even said he's a game-changer. Walker's got more rushing yards through four games than anyone has in 15 years. It’s like they finally found that explosive threat they’ve been missing since Tyreek Hill left.
This guy is making the offense so much better. He's got this great vision, and he can make defenders miss. He had this incredible run where he just weaved through like five guys. Then he broke off a 76-yard touchdown run, the longest of the season. He even scored the game-winner.
It's not just about him, though. His presence is opening things up for Mahomes. The Chiefs are the only unbeaten team left in the AFC now, after Buffalo lost. It looks like they're heading back to the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Bills' defense is still a problem. They gave up a ton of yards to the Patriots. And the Eagles' offense? Still struggling. Jalen Hurts isn't putting up big numbers, and they're missing key players. It's been a rough couple of weeks for them.
Oh, and the Raiders might have the best tight end combo in the league with Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers. They really gave the Chiefs' defense fits. And for Tampa Bay, it’s looking rough. They're 0-4, and it doesn't look like it's getting better anytime soon.
The 2026 F1 season features six Sprint weekends, starting with the Chinese Grand Prix in March and wrapping up with the Singapore Grand Prix in October. Each Sprint weekend includes a unique schedule: Friday kicks off with a one-hour practice session, followed by Sprint Qualifying. On Saturday, there’s a 100km Sprint race, and later, the Grand Prix Qualifying sets the stage for Sunday’s main event.
Sprint Qualifying mirrors traditional qualifying but is shorter, with three knockout sessions. The points system rewards the top eight finishers in the Sprint, with 8 points for first place down to 1 point for eighth. Unlike the Grand Prix, pit stops are rare during the Sprint, as teams can choose their tire compounds freely. After the Sprint, teams can adjust their setups before the main race, allowing them to optimize based on what they learned. It’s an exciting format designed to enhance the weekend experience for fans and drivers alike.

He’s one of six debutants in the 23-man squad announced by coach Kevin Walters. It’s an exciting moment for Walker, who will be competing with established players like Cameron Munster, Tom Dearden, and Mitchell Moses for a spot in the halves.
In a notable leadership move, Isaah Yeo will serve as captain for the men’s team, even postponing necessary pectoral surgery to take on this role. The women’s team will be led by Isabelle Kelly. It’s shaping up to be a thrilling tournament ahead, with fresh talent and strong leadership at the helm.
