"SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After a week of quarterback-centric discussion leading into Super Bowl LX, it was Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III who had the biggest offensive impact on the outcome Sunday night. Buoyed by a first-half surge in which he outgained the entire New England Patriots offense, Walker earned Most Valuable Player honors as the Seahawks ran to a 29-13 victory and the franchise's second Lombardi Trophy."
"By the time Seattle and New England headed to the locker room, Walker had 94 yards on 14 carries, the second-highest rushing total for a player in an opening half in Super Bowl history. Only Washington's Timmy Smith in Super Bowl XXII had more (131 yards). Walker finished with 313 rushing yards in the postseason, falling just shy of Marshawn Lynch's postseason franchise record of 318 from 2014."
Kenneth Walker III powered the Seattle offense with 135 rushing yards on 27 carries and 26 receiving yards on two catches, earning Super Bowl MVP. Walker outgained the entire New England offense in the first half and produced runs of 29 and 30 yards in a three-play span. He totaled 94 yards on 14 first-half carries, the second-highest opening-half Super Bowl rushing performance. Walker finished the postseason with 313 rushing yards, narrowly missing the Seahawks postseason record. Walker split time during the regular season but became the primary back in the playoffs after Zach Charbonnet's ACL injury, recording three straight playoff games with 100-plus scrimmage yards.
