What happened: Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III has totaled more rushing yards and rushing touchdowns this season than the entire Seahawks backfield combined despite playing one fewer game, per Adam Schefter. Across the matchup, Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has recorded more receiving yards and receiving touchdowns than all Kansas City wide receivers combined.

Why it matters: Sunday's scheduled game marks Walker's return to Seattle after leaving the franchise for a featured role in Kansas City. While Walker has paced the Chiefs on the ground, Seattle has leaned heavily on Smith-Njigba in the passing game with running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price sidelined behind Emanuel Wilson.

By the numbers: Kansas City enters at 5-0 as the No. 1 seed through five games, while Seattle stands at 3-3 as the No. 8 seed across six games.

What to watch: Kansas City and Seattle are scheduled to kick off Sunday in Seattle with the score at 0-0.
