ANALYSIS
The Seattle Seahawks cleared one mental block by beating Denver last week. Can they clear another today? Kansas City has tortured Seattle through the years, particularly during eight straight wins at Arrowhead Stadium. This game should mirror the Seattle-Denver game: High energy, loud crowd, defense ruled. Problem is, Seattle’s defense is banged up with Sam Adams, Michael Sinclair, Darrin Smith and Shawn Springs on the mend. Kansas City leads the NFL with 29 takeaways. Chiefs 23, Seahawks 16.
