Chiefs enter Week 7 with 5-0 start as Travis Kelce, Kenneth Walker III and Chris Jones await key milestones

The Story

The Kansas City Chiefs are riding a 5-0 start as they prepare for a Sunday Night Football bout against the Seattle Seahawks, and the club’s Week 7 game notes spotlight multiple milestones across both sides of the ball. Among the first to draw attention is tight end Travis Kelce, whose production has accelerated in 2026 with averages of 59.6 yards per game—his most since 2023—and 15.0 yards per reception, the highest mark of his career.

Kelce, who is 37, is also posting double-digit yards per target for the first time in his career, helped by a 66.7% catch success rate that is described as his best since his second NFL season in 2014. The notes say two receptions for 25-plus yards would tie him with Rob Gronkowski for the most such games by a tight end, while three receptions of any length would allow him to surpass Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison for the most by a player in his first 14 seasons. The game notes add that Kelce is 35 yards away from surpassing Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history, including the postseason.

Elsewhere, the notes frame running back Kenneth Walker III as a central storyline, pointing to his move from Seattle that has produced the “highest level of his career” through five games. Walker is already up to 665 rushing yards and eight all-purpose touchdowns, and the notes say a pair of touchdowns in Week 7 would set a new career high with 10 scores on the year, along with the distinction of being the first player since 1970 to score multiple times in five of a team’s first six games. The Chiefs’ defensive front also has a checkpoint for Chris Jones, who recorded his first half-sack of the campaign in Week 6 and, according to the notes, would be tied with former Chiefs outside linebacker Tamba Hali for second-most sacks in a Kansas City career with 1.5 sacks versus Seattle.
