Summary
Kenneth Walker forced a career-high 15 missed tackles Sunday night, pushing his two-game total to an NFL-best 29 through Week 2.
NFL Next Gen Stats said Walker also forced 14 missed tackles against Denver, and his 29 are five more than any player in the NFL Pro database through two weeks since at least 2018.
The Kansas City running back has paired that tackle-breaking start with 365 yards from scrimmage and 290 rushing yards, 72 more rushing yards than second-place Derrick Henry.
Walker has topped 150 scrimmage yards in each of his first two games and joined Billy Sims as the only NFL players to open their careers with a team with 175-plus total yards in both.
