Raiders face yet another league-leader Week 4 vs Chiefs - Raiders Wire

Last week the Raiders faced a hot Saints team led by Tyler Shough who came into the game with the league's most passing yards. And his top receiver Chris Olave had the second most receiving yards.

Both players still put up good numbers for the game, with late takeaways by the Raiders being the difference in the game.

Well, Las Vegas set to have do it again with the Chiefs coming to town.

Running back Kenneth Walker currently leads the NFL with 360 rushing yards in the first three weeks.

Walker only leads the league by 11 rushing yards. But in another stat, he put some serious distance between him and the next guy -- yards after contact.

In total he averages over 147 yards from scrimmage per game, with 85 of those yards coming after contact.

Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak is very familiar with what Walker can bring to a club. Walker was his workhorse back in Seattle last season when they won the Super Bowl.

"Big play ability. He can hit a home run from anywhere on the field," Kubiak said of Walker.

"Kenneth is a tremendous back. He's playing as good as anybody in the leagueright now, and we have to stop him. He's a really good player."

Currently the Raiders are allowing around 116 yards rushing per game which is good for 19th in the league. The top backs they have faced have been Omarion Hampton, Travis Etienne, and Devon Achane. All decent, but none are playing nearly at the level Walker is playing right now.
