Kenneth Walker has more rushing yards in 4 games than the Seahawks have in 5
The Chiefs had their bye this week, meaning they've only played four games.
The Kansas City Chiefs, who have only played four games this season as they took a week off, have a surprising stat on their hands. Running back Kenneth Walker has accumulated more rushing yards than his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, have managed in five games. Walker has rushed for 537 yards on 87 carries during these four outings. In contrast, Seattle has amassed 530 yards on 139 carries over their five games.
Seattle's situation took a turn for the worse in their recent loss to the 49ers. The Seahawks' two running backs, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani, combined for a paltry 24 carries for just 68 yards, which translates to an average of 2.8 yards per carry. This is a stark comparison to Walker's performance. Before joining the Chiefs, the Seahawks drafted running back Jadarian Price in the first round.
However, Price is currently sidelined with a chest injury. He showed promise when healthy, averaging 39.7 yards per game in his limited three games played.
Walker, who was named the Super Bowl MVP for the Seahawks in February, has been one of the NFL's premier playmakers this season for the Chiefs. The 3-2 Seahawks may be wishing they had hung onto their Super Bowl MVP.
