Chiefs, 49ers, Vikings Stay Unbeaten After Week Four
Confirmed
In Short: The Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, and Minnesota Vikings remained unbeaten after Week Four of the NFL season, continuing their strong starts.
In a late Sunday game, the Chiefs secured a 30-27 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, who had also started the season with a 3-0 record.
The turning point in the Chiefs' game against the Raiders came when new running back Kenneth Walker scored two touchdowns in just 19 seconds, followed by a fumble recovery on the ensuing kickoff return.
According to reports, the Chiefs have shown interest in reuniting with former star receiver Tyreek Hill, who is expected to become healthy soon.
The Chiefs' win came with a setback, however, as they suffered an injury that could impact their future performance.
The San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings also continued their unbeaten streaks, with both teams looking strong as they move forward in the season.

- Best quote from the locker room: Young on MVP chant: "I heard it. In the moment you just focus on executing and trying to move the team. Obviously a huge blessing - the support. And I mean the Bank [Bank of America Stadium] tonight was electric. They caused some false starts. They made it hard on them. And when the Bank's rocking like that we take a lot of pride in that. I'm super, super grateful for the fans." -- Mike Kaye Next game: at Eagles (Oct. 18, 1 p.m.
