Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs stand as the last undefeated team in the AFC and one of only two in the entire NFL, with Super Bowl aspirations firmly in their sights. On CBS Sports' "Set Hut," hosts Russell Wilson and Kyle Long explored the Chiefs' potential to elevate their game even further as the trade deadline approaches.

A key figure in this discussion is Kenneth Walker, the defending Super Bowl MVP who joined the Chiefs from the Seattle Seahawks this offseason. With 665 rushing yards and leading the NFL in forced missed tackles (52), Walker is proving to be a game-changer. His performance includes:

  • 113.0 rushing yards per game
  • 183 yards and six touchdowns against stacked boxes

Wilson praised Walker's impact, stating, "Every time he touches the ball, there's a chance he may score," and emphasized that Walker brings a toughness that enhances the Chiefs' dynamic. Wilson noted, "[Patrick Mahomes] never had a 1,000-yard rusher," indicating that Walker's presence is transformative for the Chiefs.

Looking ahead, both Wilson and Long suggested that the Chiefs could amplify their offense with a strategic trade. Wilson specifically mentioned acquiring Garrett Wilson from the New York Jets. He believes that the young receiver would thrive in an Andy Reid-style offense, stating, "They've never had a receiver like him."

Long echoed this sentiment, highlighting Garrett's desire to win and urging him not to waste his youth with the Jets. The upcoming trade deadline could be pivotal for the Chiefs as they aim for another Super Bowl run.
