Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire had the best game of his young NFL career on Monday against the Buffalo Bills

Edwards-Helaire rushed for 161 yards in 26 attempts, an average of 6.2 yards per carry.

It could have been an even bigger game for Edwards-Helaire, who had a 6-yard touchdown run called back because of a holding penalty on offensive lineman Nick Allegretti.

Fortunately for the Chiefs, it didn’t matter in the end as they won 26-17.
