The undefeated Chiefs visit a Seahawks team that has dropped two straight and needs a win to keep pace in the NFC.
Kansas City brings its undefeated record to Lumen Field on Sunday night, where a Seattle team at 3-3 is hoping to stop the bleeding after back-to-back losses. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET in Week 7.
The Seahawks already sit three games behind the 49ers, plus a tiebreaker, and know a home playoff spot like the one that helped carry them to last year's Super Bowl run isn't happening without wins like this. Seattle is averaging 24.7 points per game while allowing 20.3, with an offense putting up 332.2 total yards per game, including 107.2 rushing. The third-down conversion rate sits at just 32.4%, and the turnover margin is -1, both numbers Mike Macdonald's team will need to clean up against one of the AFC's better rosters.
Add a personal subplot to the stakes: Kenneth Walker III returns to Seattle wearing Chiefs colors. The running back signed with Kansas City and has become a key piece of the offense's revival after a sluggish finish to last season. For Seattle, beating the player who left and the team sitting atop the AFC would be a nice two-for-one on a Sunday night with real playoff math attached.
