Seahawks' Kenneth Walker III somersaults to 1st down in incredible display of athleticism vs Lions

The Detroit Lions beat the Seattle Seahawks in a 42-29 shootout, with Jared Goff throwing for 18-18 passes for 292 yards and 3 total TDs. Danny Parkins discusses why the Lions are the best team in the NFC.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III may have made the most acrobatic play of the season on Monday night against the Detroit Lions.

Walker received a pass near the first-down marker from quarterback Geno Smith early in the second quarter. Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone wrapped up Walker and was trying to make the tackle on the big running back.

Anzalone appeared to have dragged Walker down, but he landed on the defender’s legs. Walker popped back up and continued to churn toward the first-down marker. Just as it appeared Anzalone finally got him down, Walker put his head down and did a somersault flip and got the first down.

"I've never seen a play like that ever in my life," Seahawks safety Rayshawn Jenkins said after the game, via team’s website. "So hats off to Kenneth. He continues to fight when he's out there. He's not going down easy. And I thought the offense played great tonight."

Seahawks head coach Michael Macdonald also cheered on Walker.
