The Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions will both look to stay undefeated as they match up against each other on Sunday.
This will be the Chiefs’ third road game in just four weeks played on the season. It hasn’t been a problem so far, as they have defeated their road opponents by a total of 68-36.
Here are two Chiefs players, one on each side of the ball, to keep an eye on.
RB Darrel Williams
Williams was very good in a complementary role to LeSean McCoy last week, then did a good job as the feature back when McCoy couldn’t return to the game due to injury in the fourth quarter. Williams amassed 109 total yards on 14 touches, including the game-sealing reception.
He runs with a great blend of power and speed. Last week he reached a top speed of 20.88 MPH against the Baltimore Ravens, the fifth-highest among plays made in Week 3. Coach Andy Reid has been very complimentary of Williams, possibly signaling that he has earned a bigger role within the offense moving forward.

DE Emmanuel Ogbah
Surprisingly and quietly, Ogbah leads the Chiefs in sacks this season with 2.5. He is a backup defensive end behind Frank Clark and Alex Okafor but has made the most of his playing time when he gets it. In the one game this season that he didn’t get a sack, he forced a fumble.
Ogbah won’t cut into the highly paid Clark’s playing time, but it will be interesting to see if he cuts into Okafor’s a bit. Although Okafor has been good in his own right. Watch for some of Steve Spagnuolo’s special NASCAR packages that feature all four of the play-making defensive ends on the Chiefs’ roster.
