Both teams came into the game looking to secure momentum heading into the postseason, but it was the Chiefs who emerged victorious in a high-scoring affair. Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker was the star of the night, amassing an impressive 263 rushing yards while finding the end zone multiple times.
