Chiefs-Seahawks: 5 questions with Field Gulls ahead of Week 7

Key Points:

• The Seattle Seahawks enter Week 7 with a 3-3 record, struggling to close out games largely due to costly turnovers and an inability to score in high-pressure moments despite often leading or tying late in games.
• Quarterback Sam Darnold has been inconsistent, throwing seven touchdowns and seven interceptions; injuries and offensive line issues have hindered his performance, though the Seahawks remain committed to him as the starter.
• The decision to let Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III leave in free agency is under scrutiny as he excels with the Chiefs, while Seattle’s backfield has struggled with injuries and underperforming replacements.
• Seattle’s defense, ranked first in total defense, excels against the run and creates challenging third-down situations, presenting a key matchup advantage against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense.
• The Seahawks aim to snap a two-game losing streak against the undefeated Chiefs, but the prediction favors a comfortable double-digit win for Kansas City, with the game expected to be closer than records suggest.
