Impact Harris notched his first NFL sack during the narrow Week 5 win over Vegas.

The 26-year-old will look to continue the momentum in Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Leads team in tackles Harris recorded 13 tackles (seven solo) in the team's 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Impact Harris was called upon to step up with Willie Gay serving a four-game suspension. It was the second most snaps Harris has played in his three-year career, and his 13 stops topped his previous best of 10 combined tackles. He should continue to play a large role on the Chiefs' defense until at least Gay returns, including Sunday against the Buccaneers.
