What happened: Joe Montana recorded one of his five 250-plus passing yard performances during his final NFL campaign in a Kansas City victory against Seattle. That archival milestone precedes this week's prime-time regular-season meeting between the two franchises, which also streams on Peacock.

Why it matters: Seattle enters at 3-3 after activating running back Zach Charbonnet from the physically unable to perform list on Thursday following his July 22 offseason knee surgery. Both clubs face a Nov. 10 in-season trade cutoff as they navigate the 2026 regular-season schedule.

By the numbers: Kansas City averages an NFL-high 5.5 yards per rush this season while facing eight or more defenders in the box on 48 percent of its rushing attempts, the fourth-highest rate in the league. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce also enters the contest three receptions away from a historic milestone.

What to watch: Seattle hosts Kansas City on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET before facing the Bears prior to the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
