QUARTERBACK

• Sam Darnold is the projected starting quarterback for SEA

  6.93 Y/A

  Through 5 games in 2026, Sam Darnold threw for 1033 passing yards, completed 60.4% of his passes and averaged 6.93 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 4048 yards, completed 67.7% and averaged 8.49 yards per attempt, 25-14 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 7-7 touchdown-to-interception line is 5 games in.

• Patrick Mahomes is the projected starting quarterback for KC

  8.29 Y/A

  Through 5 games in 2026, Patrick Mahomes threw for 1309 passing yards, completed 66.5% of his passes and averaged 8.29 yards per attempt. Last season over 14 games he threw for 3587 yards, completed 62.7% and averaged 7.14 yards per attempt, 22-11 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 9-3 touchdown-to-interception line is 5 games in.

TRENCHES

• KC: 159.8 rushing yards per game to SEA's 107.2

  52.6 YPG

  Kansas City runs for 159.8 yards a game over 5 games, way up from 106.6 last season. Seattle is at 107.2, down from 123.3. The Chiefs leaning on the run is a real change in identity, though a jump that size in 5 games will likely come back some. Against Seattle, expect Kansas City to keep pounding it, which shortens the game and matters for totals.

• KC: 5.48 yards per rush attempt to SEA's 3.8

  1.68 Y/C

  KC is at 5.48 yards per rush attempt over 5 games; SEA is at 3.8 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 4.29 over 17 games and SEA at 4.17 over 17 games.

PASS RUSH

• KC: 1.2 sacks taken per game to SEA's 2.67

  1.47 SACKS

  KC is at 1.2 sacks taken per game over 5 games; SEA is at 2.67 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 2.94 over 17 games and SEA at 2.08 over 17 games.

• KC: 7.6 sack yards lost per game to SEA's 19.8

  12.2 YDS

  KC is at 7.6 sack yards lost per game over 5 games; SEA is at 19.8 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 19.3 over 17 games and SEA at 14.3 over 17 games.

• SEA: 2.67 sacks recorded per game to KC's 1.6

  1.07 SACKS

  Seattle is getting 2.67 sacks a game over 6 games, and Kansas City's defense gets 1.6 over 5. Sacks come in bunches, so one big game can inflate an average this early. The Seahawks have been the more disruptive front so far. For this game, Seattle's rush is the one more likely to knock the Chiefs off schedule, which matters for drive length and sack props.

PACE & SCRIPT

• KC: 16.6 points allowed per game to SEA's 20.3

  3.7 PPG

  KC is at 16.6 points allowed per game over 5 games; SEA is at 20.3 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 19.3 over 17 games and SEA at 17.2 over 17 games.

• KC: 28 points per game to SEA's 24.7

  3.3 PPG

  KC is at 28 points per game over 5 games; SEA is at 24.7 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 21.3 over 17 games and SEA at 28.4 over 17 games.

TURNOVERS

• KC: 0.8 turnovers committed per game to SEA's 2

  1.2 TO

  Kansas City turns it over just 0.8 times a game over 5 games, right in line with its 0.88 last season, so this is a steady trait. Seattle is at 2, up from 1.65. Turnovers are noisy, so Seattle's rate may ease, but the Chiefs have long protected the ball. In a road game, extra possessions from Seattle mistakes could decide it.

• KC: 0.2 fumbles lost per game to SEA's 0.83

  0.63 FUM

  KC is at 0.2 fumbles lost per game over 5 games; SEA is at 0.83 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 0.18 over 17 games and SEA at 0.76 over 17 games.

• KC: 0.6 interceptions thrown per game to SEA's 1.17

  0.57 INT

  KC is at 0.6 interceptions thrown per game over 5 games; SEA is at 1.17 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 0.71 over 17 games and SEA at 0.88 over 17 games.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• KC: 6.74 yards per play to SEA's 5.3

  1.44 Y/P

  Kansas City gains 6.74 yards a play over 5 games, a big jump from 5.05 last season, while Seattle has slipped to 5.3 from 5.98. The Chiefs hit 4 plays of 20-plus last game, including Patrick Mahomes finding Noah Gray for 31 and Travis Kelce for 24. Seattle's explosives came from Sam Darnold to Rashid Shaheed for 42 and Jaxon Smith-Njigba for 32. Kansas City's efficiency should cool some, but it moves the ball in bigger chunks.

RED ZONE

• KC: 33.3% red-zone scoring allowed to SEA's 78.6%

  45.2 PP

  KC is at 33.3% red-zone scoring allowed over 5 games; SEA is at 78.6% over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 24.

MISMATCH

• KC: 6.74 yards a snap to SEA's 5.3

  6.74 VS 5.3

  Kansas City averages 6.74 yards a snap over five games, up from 5.05 last season, while Seattle sits at 5.3, below its 5.98. The Chiefs are moving the ball much more efficiently, and Seattle has to stay on schedule to keep up. A jump that big over five games may cool some. Efficiency gaps like this usually mean more scoring chances for the better offense.

COVERAGE

• SEA: 141.3 passing yards allowed per game to KC's 217.2

  75.9 YPG

  Seattle is holding offences to 141.3 passing yards a game over 6 games, while Kansas City gives up 217.2 across 5. Seattle's number can partly reflect opponents who ran more or the quarterbacks they drew, so it may not be this low against better passers. For Chiefs at Seahawks, the Kansas City passing game faces the tougher secondary on paper, which shapes how you view Chiefs yardage props.

• SEA: 3.9 yards per play allowed to KC's 4.7

  0.8 Y/P

  KC is at 4.7 yards per play allowed over 5 games; SEA is at 3.9 over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 24.

• SEA: 28% third downs allowed to KC's 35.7%

  7.7 PP

  KC is at 35.7% third downs allowed over 5 games; SEA is at 28% over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 24.

REPLACEMENT

• Drew Lock (QB) is out for SEA

  OUT

  Lock is inactive with an elbow injury, but Seattle has him as the emergency third quarterback Sunday night against Kansas City. That means he dresses only in a disaster scenario where both quarterbacks ahead of him go down. For betting, this changes little: he was a backup, and his elbow keeps him from being anything more than insurance in this game.

• Connor O'Toole (LB) is out for SEA

  OUT

  O'Toole is inactive with a hamstring injury for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs. He is a depth linebacker, so his absence mostly affects special teams and rotation snaps. This is a minor note for the Seattle defense in this matchup.

• Chazz Surratt (LB) is out for SEA

  OUT

  SEA lists Chazz Surratt as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 25.

• Beau Stephens (G) is out for SEA

  OUT

  SEA lists Beau Stephens as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 25.

• Zach Charbonnet (RB) is out for SEA

  OUT

  Seattle has Charbonnet out against Kansas City, and the report gives no injury detail. He is part of the Seahawks' backfield, so his carries go to the other running backs on the depth chart. For bettors, more volume should land on whoever starts in the Seattle backfield Sunday night.

• Jaylon Moore (OT) is out for KC

  OUT

  Moore is out Sunday at Seattle with a concussion, so Kansas City needs another tackle for this game. The sheet doesn't name his replacement, so confirm who starts before weighing how this affects protection against the Seahawks.

• Ben VanSumeren (FB) is out for KC

  OUT

  KC lists Ben VanSumeren as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 25.

• Jack Pyburn (LB) is out for KC

  OUT

  KC lists Jack Pyburn as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 25.

• Drake Thomas (LB) is out for SEA

  OUT

  SEA lists Drake Thomas as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 25.

• Garrett Nussmeier (QB) is out for KC

  OUT

  This is a roster move. Garrett Nussmeier is healthy and inactive by coach's decision, held as Kansas City's emergency third quarterback for Sunday night in Seattle. A third quarterback almost never takes a snap, so his absence leaves the Chiefs' passing game as it was. For betting purposes the starter's line and props are the ones to follow, and this listing does not move them.

• Jadon Canady (CB) is out for KC

  OUT

  KC lists Jadon Canady as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 25.

• Robert Henry Jr. (RB) is out for SEA

  OUT

  SEA lists Robert Henry Jr. as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 25.

• Rashee Rice (WR) is out for KC

  OUT

  Rice is out for Kansas City's game at Seattle, and the report does not name an injury. When a team's lead receiver sits, the targets go to the rest of the receiver room and the tight ends. With no detail on who steps up, the useful angle is watching how the Chiefs' passing game spreads the ball without him.

• Rashid Shaheed (WR) is questionable for SEA

  QUESTIONABLE

  SEA lists Rashid Shaheed as questionable on the injury report. Reported Oct 26.

• Brashard Smith (RB) is on injured reserve for KC

  IR

  The Chiefs placed Smith (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 24.

• Elijah Arroyo (TE) is on injured reserve for SEA

  IR

  Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Arroyo (shoulder) underwent surgery and will likely be out for the rest of the season, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Reported Oct 23.

• Josh Simmons (OT) is on injured reserve for KC

  IR

  The Chiefs placed Simmons (lower back) on injured reserve Thursday. Reported Oct 22.

• Tyquan Thornton (WR) is on injured reserve for KC

  IR

  The Chiefs placed Thornton (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Oct 13.

• Jadarian Price (RB) is on injured reserve for SEA

  IR

  Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price "should be looking at a sooner rather than later return after" the Seahawks' next game in Week 7, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Reported Oct 16.

SITUATIONAL

• KC (5-0) at SEA (3-3)

  -31 PT GAP

  KC is 5-0, +57 points on the year, has won 5 straight this season. SEA is 3-3, +26 points on the year, has lost 2 straight this season. KC is 2-0 on the road; SEA is 2-1 at home.

• KC: 7.9 yards per pass attempt to SEA's 6.47

  1.43 Y/A

  KC is at 7.9 yards per pass attempt over 5 games; SEA is at 6.47 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 5.65 over 17 games and SEA at 8.01 over 17 games.

• KC: 41.7% third-down conversion rate to SEA's 32.4%

  9.2 PP

  KC is at 41.7% third-down conversion rate over 5 games; SEA is at 32.4% over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 37.4% over 17 games and SEA at 39.8% over 17 games.

• SEA has 3 more days of rest

  7d vs 10d

  Seattle hosts on 10 days of rest, while Kansas City is on its usual 7 and traveling. The Seahawks get a little extra recovery and prep time at home. A three-day gap is a small edge, worth a nudge and no more.

• KC: 254.2 team passing yards per game to SEA's 225

  29.2 YPG

  KC is at 254.2 team passing yards per game over 5 games; SEA is at 225 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 214.1 over 17 games and SEA at 228.1 over 17 games.

• KC: 1.8 fourth-down attempts per game to SEA's 1.17

  0.63 ATT/G

  KC is at 1.8 fourth-down attempts per game over 5 games; SEA is at 1.17 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season KC was at 1.88 over 17 games and SEA at 0.71 over 17 games.

STREAK

• KC has won 5 straight

  W5

  KC is 5-0 and takes that streak on the road to SEA. With no opponent list on the sheet, five wins tell you KC keeps finding ways to win, with nothing on how strong the competition was. A five-game start is short, and road games against a home crowd are a common place for a streak to end. Weigh how much the unbeaten record is inflating KC's price before leaning on it.

AFTER GARY

• KC +3 → +3

  NOW +2.03PP

  Gary's number was 3; the same book now shows 3.
