KC Chiefs: Winners and losers from week nine win vs Vikings

WINNER: DAMIEN WILLIAMS

Ninety-one yard touchdown run. ‘Nuff said.

WINNER: CHARVARIUS WARD

The Chiefs brought Charvarius Ward in last year as a rookie and he’s been a pleasant surprise this year. He had a nice game on Sunday and the secondary as a whole did well too. More on that now.

WINNER: SECONDARY

I know Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes, but you know what? The secondary hasn’t been a glaring weakness recently. They held Cousins to 220 yards through the air and didn’t allow the two big name receivers to do much of anything.

I know Adam Thielen barely played, but Stefon Diggs played and he had just one catch for four yards. That’s credit to Ward and to the rest of the secondary. They deserve a spot here this week.

WINNER: RUN DEFENSE

Yeah, I’m rolling with this one! Dalvin Cook has been an absolute stud this season for Minnesota and their rushing attack as a whole has been stout. It would have been justifiable for the Chiefs to get gashed by this Vikings unit, but they held Cook and company to under 100 yards on the day. Chiefs fans would sign up for that every time.

WINNER: CHRIS JONES

Welcome back, Mr. Jones! Jones notched three tackles and one sack in his return to action. He also was pivotal in helping stop Cook and the rest of the Vikings running backs.
