Overview
The Seattle Seahawks (3-3, L2) host the Kansas City Chiefs (5-0, W5) on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 8:20 PM ET on NBC, with light rain in the forecast at Lumen Field and wind around 7 mph. Kansas City has outscored opponents 140-83 on the season, while Seattle sits at 148-122.
Seattle dropped its last two: 14-17 at the Denver Broncos in overtime in Week 6, and 29-32 at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. Before that stretch, the Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 in Week 4. Kansas City, meanwhile, just throttled the Chargers 22-6 in Week 6 and hasn't lost yet this season.
Kansas City leads the all-time series 34-19 and has won four of the last five meetings, and the market has Seattle as three-point favorites with a total of 42.0, suggesting a tight one.
Key players
Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with 717 receiving yards and is tied for first with 49 catches, and he's within reach of becoming just the fourth player in the Super Bowl era with 100-plus receiving yards in six of his first seven games, joining Adam Thielen, Marvin Harrison and Michael Irvin.
Travis Kelce is already third among tight ends all-time in receptions with 1,100, and he's within reach of two marks Sunday night: three catches would pass Marvin Harrison's 1,102 for fifth-most receptions in NFL history, and 35 receiving yards would push him past Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history including the postseason.
Patrick Mahomes completed 23 of 30 passes for 272 yards in Week 6 and picked up his 100th career regular-season win, making him just the third QB ever to reach that number within his first 10 seasons, and he's chasing a fifth straight game with 225-plus passing yards.
Kenneth Walker III piled up 139 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns last week, making him just the third player in the Super Bowl era with two-plus touchdowns in four of his team's first five games of a season; he spent his first four seasons with Seattle before landing in Kansas City.
Sam Darnold threw for 278 yards in Week 6 and has a touchdown pass in three of his last four outings, giving Seattle's offense a pulse even during the skid.
Keys to the game
Seattle has to bottle up Kenneth Walker III, who just dropped 139 scrimmage yards and two rushing scores on a Super Bowl-era-best pace for touchdowns through five games.
The Seahawks need Jaxon Smith-Njigba to keep delivering after his 12-catch, 134-yard Week 6 performance, because he's the engine of this offense right now.
Seattle's front has to get after Mahomes — Ernest Jones is chasing his fourth straight game with a sack, Leonard Williams has a sack in two of his last three primetime games, and Byron Murphy has a sack in two of his last three games.
Fantasy angles
Start Jaxon Smith-Njigba with total confidence — a 20.5-point projection, the NFL's leading receiver with 717 yards, and a matchup he should feast on regardless of what Kansas City throws at him.
Sam Darnold is a solid streaming option at 13.0 projected points given a touchdown pass in three of his last four games.
Emanuel Wilson is a flex option worth a look at 10.0 points after leading Seattle in rushing with 52 yards in Week 6 and racking up 70-plus scrimmage yards with a touchdown in two of his last three.
Jason Myers is a fine deep-league kicker stream at 9.0 projected points in a game with a 42.0 total.
Sit Zach Charbonnet — he's out and projected for just 7.0 points, so there's no case for rostering him this week.
Prediction
The market has this one going Seattle Seahawks 23, Kansas City Chiefs 20, lining up with Seattle as three-point home favorites and a 42.0 total. That number says a close, physical night at Lumen Field where Seattle's defense has to come up with just enough stops against Mahomes and Walker to get the Seahawks back in the win column.
