After dropping their season opener to the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> have reeled off three straight wins over the Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, and Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n

They have a chance to make a real statement in Week 5 when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) and red-hot quarterback Baker Mayfield.<\/p>\n

Seattle\u2019s offense is still finding its rhythm and looking to settle into a groove under new $100 million quarterback Sam Darnold, which means head coach Mike Macdonald is leaning heavily on star running back Kenneth Walker to help make Darnold\u2019s transition seamless.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Walker had an impressive performance in Seattle\u2019s Week 4 win over the Cardinals, rushing for 81 yards on 19 carries and adding a 29-yard reception in the 23-20 victory.<\/p>\n
