On October 19, Kenneth Walker III reached 665 rushing yards in his first five games with the Kansas City Chiefs, the most in NFL history for a player's first five games with a team, with 369 of those yards after contact. He was the first player since Priest Holmes in 2002 with 760 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns over that span. By late October he had 701 rushing yards, second in the league behind Bijan Robinson's 704, with Jahmyr Gibbs at 620. The discussion compares him to Terrell Davis in 1998 and places him in the MVP race alongside Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy.
