The Kenneth Walker III revenge game didn’t go as planned.The Seattle Seahawks’ defense dominated in a 20-3 win over the previously undefeated Kansas City Chiefs in a Sunday nightcap, holding Patrick Mahomes and Walker, who won Super Bowl MVP for the Seahawks in February — to their lowest passing and rushing totals of the season, respectively.After having lost two straight games, Seattle got its best win of the season and is now only two games behind the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West.“Really proud of our team,” Seahawks coach Mike MacDonald said postgame.
“To stand steadfast in some adversity, that’s what we do.We find solutions.” The Seahawks’ defense was the story.
Mahomes was limited to only 165 yards through the air.He threw for no touchdowns and one interception.
Meanwhile, Walker was limited even further.He entered Sunday’s game leading the NFL in rushing yards and yards per carry (minimum 30 carries) and tied for the third-most rushing touchdowns.
Against his former team, Walker ran only 14 times for 36 yards and no scores.He had run for at least 115 yards in four of the Chiefs’ first five games, and his previous lowest rushing total of the season was 70.Walker walked off the field after the loss without greeting his former teammates.
The Seahawks ultimately held Kansas City to its fewest total yards, first downs and red-zone drives in any Mahomes start, while the Chiefs’ three points were also tied for their lowest output in any Mahomes start, per NFL researcher Tony Holzman-Escareno.“Our guys played great, man,” MacDonald said when he was asked about his defense.
“They’re just a bunch of warriors.”He added: “How do you not just tip your cap to those guys?”Said Chiefs coach Andy Reid about his offense: “We’ll go back to the drawing board.” More from SportsKimi Antonelli wins U.S.Grand Prix in Texas, putting him on the brink of F1 championshipInside the controversial call that ended Game 2 of the World S...
