Kenneth Walker leads the NFL at 133 rushing yards a game. Seattle hasn't let anyone run for 100 in 35 straight games.

Something gives Sunday night, and the Chiefs walk in 5-0.

Walker gets his 100, or Seattle's wall holds?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Joel Hofer shut out Carolina last January. Now the Hurricanes come back as defending Stanley Cup champs.

They're 8-2-2, 6-1-1 on the road and scoring 3.9 goals a game. Hofer made 33 saves in that 3-0 Blues win.

Blues at home, or the champs on the road?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

@BoRawlinsCPS My read: seven hits means guys are getting home, just a beat late. Seattle doesn't need sacks Sunday, it needs Mahomes rushing throws. If Benson keeps him clean early, the zero holds.

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Kahlil Benson hasn't allowed a sack all year. PFF still ranks his pass blocking 72nd of 74 tackles.

The undrafted rookie has given up 0 sacks but 7 QB hits, and Sunday night he faces Seattle's pass defense, first in the NFL at 141 yards a game.

Trust the zero, or the grade?

Missouri's Top Five Plays of the week. Fight me on the order.

5. Butker's 50-yarder at the half
4. Barron's first goal as a Blue
3. Broberg's PP one-timer to sink Winnipeg
2. Walker's 33-yard TD run
1. Lundt's shootout save for CITY's first trophy

Lundt at No. 1, or Walker?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Six goals on last season's Cup finalist. Maybe this Blues team is better than its record.

Blues 6, Vegas 2. Justin Barron had four points (1G, 3A) and Dylan Holloway scored twice.

Real turning point, or just one big night?

[St. Louis Blues @StLouisBlues]

Great knight in STL! #stlblues

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

The Blues aren't touching a thing after one win. Same lines, same pairs, same goalie against Vegas.

Joel Hofer stopped 32 of 33 shots to beat Winnipeg, and now he gets last season's Cup finalist.

Ride the hot hand, or too much faith in one win?

[St. Louis Blues @StLouisBlues]

Same forward lines, same defense pairings, same goalie. https://t.co/fgH4rO2HbM

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

@MasterChiefsss @MasterChiefsss That card says it all. Seattle paid the receiver and let the guy with 665 rushing yards walk to KC. Sunday night they get to watch it up close. Does Walker clear 100 in Seattle?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Seattle never even offered its Super Bowl MVP a contract. Sunday night he walks back in wearing red.

Kenneth Walker has a league-high 665 rushing yards and 6 TDs in five games on his 3-year, $43M Chiefs deal.

Seattle's biggest blunder, or smart to let a running back walk?

[SleeperNFL @SleeperNFL]

The Seahawks never made Kenneth Walker a contract offer ahead of free agency, per @MikeDugar

“There were no serious discussions — on that day or any other — about Walker returning to the team that used a second-round draft pick on him in 2022.”

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Losing your first-round left tackle for at least four games isn't a speed bump. It's a test of this line's depth.

The Chiefs put Josh Simmons (back) on IR. Rick Burkholder says his rehab plateaued and surgery isn't recommended.

Ride it out, or trade for a tackle?

[Matt Derrick @mattderrick]

Rick Burkholder, Chiefs VP of sports medicine, says LT Josh Simmons will go on injured reserve “to return to full function.” He says he has plateaued with his current rehab and needs more time to recover.

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

The Blues haven't lost in regulation at home yet. Tonight the Stanley Cup runner-up walks in.

St. Louis is 2-0-1 at Enterprise Center. Vegas is 8-3-0 with 44 goals to the Blues' 29, and Jack Eichel already has 18 points.

Home ice holds, or Vegas exposes the Blues?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Philip Broberg is the Blues' best player right now, and it isn't close.

Blues 2, Jets 1. Broberg scored the winner from his new spot on the top power play, added an assist and put 6 shots on net.

Franchise defenseman, or one hot night?

[St. Louis Blues @StLouisBlues]

BROBY FOR THE LEAD!!!! #stlblues

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Seattle's defense gives up 4.0 yards a play, the stingiest in the NFL. Sunday night it gets a 5-0 Chiefs offense scoring 28 a game.

KC's own defense is allowing 16.6 points, 2nd in the league.

Mahomes cooks the best D in football, or does Seattle drag KC into a rock fight?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

@JenTrestrail Cup rings buy a lot in St. Louis, but not a .831. If Hofer keeps this up, Binnington's going to be the backup with a statue.

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Jordan Binnington won St. Louis a Stanley Cup. Joel Hofer has started five of the Blues' first eight games.

Hofer: .906, 2.43 GAA. Binnington: .831, 4.68 in three starts. The Blues are 3-4-1 with Winnipeg in town tonight.

Whose net is it?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

An ex-Charger says refs are "controlling" Chiefs games. Chargers fans want Sneed suspended.

KC won 22-6, and the hit they're mad about got flagged: Sneed took 15 yards for his knee to Herbert's helmet on the slide.

Refs in KC's pocket, or a league full of excuses?

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

"We always knew the Chiefs were going to get a ghost call in the fourth quarter... these officials are controlling the game." - Former Chargers DT @BreidenFehoko on NFL referees rigging games.

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Kenneth Walker was Seattle's Super Bowl MVP. Sunday night he walks into Lumen Field in red.

He just ran for 128 and two TDs on the Chargers. The Chiefs are 5-0. The champs are 3-3 and have lost two straight.

Who wins in Seattle?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Mahomes and Brady both needed exactly 131 starts to win 100 games. Dead even.

Then Brady played to 45 and finished with 251 wins and seven rings. Mahomes is 31 with three.

Does Mahomes catch him, or is 131 the last place they're ever tied?

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Andy Reid spent the bye week on short yardage. Then the Chiefs got stuffed on 4th-and-goal at the 1 by an 0-5 team.

Reid after: "We spent time on the short yardage, and we didn't do very good on it today."

Is that on the play calls, or is this O-line just not built to push?

[KC Sports Network @KCSportsNetwork]

“We've spent time on the short yardage, and we didn't do very good on it today. We've got to figure that out.”

Andy Reid on the Chiefs’ short-yardage struggles vs the Chargers

[MO Street Sports @MOStreetSports]

Butker missed a PAT and a 52-yarder in a 22-6 win, and half of Chiefs Kingdom wants him cut.

He's 1 of 4 from 50-plus this year. Under 50, he hasn't missed a field goal. That PAT miss was his first all year.

Cut the kicker with three rings, or is this just a 50-yard problem?

[🗣🎙‼️ @LanceTHESPOKEN]

Yes, the Chiefs have to move on from Harrison Butker.

No, the Chiefs won’t move on from Harrison Butker this season.

Yes, the Chiefs should move on from Harrison Butker this season.

Yes, Harrison Butker has made insanely clutch kicks throughout the years.

But yes, Harrison Butker is no longer that same kicker.

It’s time.
