The Kansas City Chiefs are finding plenty of ways to grab attention during this 3-0 start to the 2026 season. It is not just about the wins or the yards. Now, the team is bringing a bit of global soccer style to the NFL end zone. During a Week 2 game against the Indianapolis Colts, Xavier Worthy found the end zone on a 1-yard catch. Right after that score, Kenneth Walker III met him there to perform a very specific move.
A Viral Move From Barcelona
The celebration is not an original creation for the Chiefs. The duo used a routine made famous by Barcelona stars Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. This specific movement involves a unique handshake followed by the players raising their arms and bowing their heads. According to reports, the players have been using this synchronized style after goals during the 2025-26 season. It is a fun way to show personality on the field.
The Chiefs even showed respect to the original creators. On X, the team posted, “Thanks for the celly inspo @FCBarcelona 🤞,” according to reports. It is great to see players connecting with different sports. This isn’t just about random movement, either. Raphinha previously stated that the gesture originated from teammates simply adopting the motion as a greeting method.
Walker Makes an Immediate Impact
While the flashy moves get the clicks, the actual football is what matters most. Kenneth Walker III is already proving why the Chiefs brought him in this offseason. The former Seattle Seahawks running back has been a massive part of the offense under Andy Reid. In the initial three matches, he accumulated 360 rushing yards along with two touchdowns. He is clearly a vital piece of this undefeated start.
Looking Ahead to Raider Week
The fun celebrations will have to continue in a much tougher environment next week. The Chiefs are heading into a massive divisional battle against the Las Vegas Raiders. Both teams are currently sitting at 3-0, which is a first for this matchup in the same season.
