*Williams, Panthers trample Chiefs*

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Ticker) -- DeAngelo Williams rushed for a career-high 123 yards and scored three touchdowns, leading the Carolina Panthers to a 34-0 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Williams scored all of his touchdowns in the first half, including a 25-yard TD reception, as Carolina bolted to a 21-0 lead. It was his fourth career 100-yard rushing game.

Jake Delhomme finished 14-of-22 for 236 yards and two touchdown passes and Steve Smith had six receptions for 96 yards for the Panthers (3-1), who limited the Chiefs (1-4) to one first down in the first half.

Larry Johnson, who rushed for 198 yards in Kansas City's 33-19 victory over Denver last week, was held to seven yards on two carries as the Chiefs were shut out for the first time since a 24-0 loss to Oakland on December 28, 2002.
