The Kansas City Chiefs have a chance to extend their perfect start, but the Seattle Seahawks have plenty of reasons to make Sunday night difficult for them. Ahead of the Week 7 clash, Sunday Night Football on NBC shared a post on X asking whether Kansas City could silence Seattle and stay undefeated. The question brought out confident predictions, playful remarks, and warnings from fans who backed the Seahawks to defend their home field. With the defending Super Bowl champions eager to stop their losing run, the comments showed that many expected a tough fight.

Then what? The whole comment section was full of tweets of what fans really think.

One fan pointed to Seattle's defensive strength and wrote, “That Seahawks defense is pissed off. Seahawks take this one!”

The comment carried a warning for a Chiefs team that had started 5-0 after going 6-11 last season. Seattle, meanwhile, had opened the campaign 3-3, with offensive turnovers hurting its chances in several games.

The Seahawks had lost two straight games and needed a strong performance against the AFC's only undefeated team.  Their defense had given them a chance to compete, even when the offense struggled to protect the ball.

Another fan took a more playful approach to Kenneth Walker III's return to Seattle, writing, “Kenneth Walker's about to walk them on a leash.” 

The remark added some fun to a matchup featuring the running back against the team he helped win the Super Bowl with last season. Walker had found a new home in Kansas City after leaving Seattle, and his strong start had made him a major part of the Chiefs' offense. His return gave fans another reason to watch closely, which is not only related to the battle between an undefeated team and the defending champions.

Kenneth Walker III and Sam Darnold could shape the contest

Not everyone expected Kansas City to leave Seattle with its unbeaten record intact. One fan predicted, “Seattle will win by at least 10 points!” Another struck a more measured tone, calling it an intense matchup and saying a Chiefs win would help the team maintain its momentum.

Seattle's defense had allowed only 237.3 yards per game, the lowest mark in the league. 

That made Walker's role especially important, as Kansas City needed to keep its running game involved against a unit that had not allowed a 100-yard rusher since October 2024.

On the other side, Sam Darnold's turnovers offered Kansas City an opening. The Seattle quarterback had thrown seven interceptions, and the Seahawks had given the ball away 12 times through six games. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs could take advantage if those mistakes continued.

The Seahawks hosted the game at Lumen Field on Sunday night, with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
