Something has to give: Seattle's 35-game streak without a 100-yard rusher, against Walker's four 100-yard games in five
The last time it happened was James Cook, 111 yards on 17 carries, October 27, 2024. A few backs have come within shouting distance since. The next five highest: Josh Jacobs's 94 on December 15, 2024, Kyren Williams's 91 on 12 carries last November, James Conner's 90 that same December, Jonathan Taylor's 87 this past December and Bijan Robinson's 86 a week before that. This season's best against Seattle is Christian McCaffrey's 68, in Week 5.

Follow @hawkblogger →You've studied so many great DCs. What does Steve Spagnuolo do that allows him to create all these pressures in big games and big moments? "I think he has a great understanding of how to systematically approach a team."
The Chiefs excel at stopping outside zone run game. You guys major in that. You've done better with man scheme runs. How do you decide how much to stick with your major versus adapt to opponent? Cool answer from Mike Macdonald
"I love Ken. I thoroughly enjoyed him being on our football team. I respect the heck out of him. We have to do a great job of stopping him this week. We are happy for him, but we also have to find a way to stop him."
Mike Macdonald mentioned you were part of the discussions that happened this weekend. How did those go? "I think there were beneficial conversations. Sets us up to go out there and play some good football."
You guys have almost everyone back on offense. It would make sense that the continuity and familiarity with the offense would mean a step forward, but a lot of guys have taken a step back statistically. How does that happen?" "Everyone being on the same page, executing them the way the coaches envision is very important." - Cooper Kupp
Andy Reid's being doing this for a long time. What makes his offense stand out? "The lines been moved over the years. He's been successful for generations because he can always move the needle based on who he has."
When the defense is doing so many things well, but has odd outliers like being last in red zone defense and struggling in 3rd and long, how do you, as players handle it? "For one, we talk about it. The red zone stuff, we have to lock in." - Julian Love
When you have background with a player and you've seen them perform at one level, and then you see them performing at a lower level, where does you mind go to determine why? "As a coach, our natural inclination is we can do something about it. What can we do to help?"
How do defenses determine how many men to put in the box? How much of it is about the opponent run game vs the opponent's RBs? "More people doesn't equal better run defense." Really interesting answer from Mike Macdonald
