Kenneth Walker III said frustration over Kansas City’s 20-3 loss to Seattle led him to skip the postgame handshake with his former Seahawks teammates. Seattle’s defense held the Chiefs’ standout running back in check and stifled an offense that struggled across the board.

By the Numbers
  • Walker had 36 rushing yards, his lowest output of the season.
  • Patrick Mahomes threw for 165 yards; Kansas City’s top receivers, Travis Kelce and Noah Gray, had 44 yards each.
  • The Seahawks won 20-3.
Yes, But

Walker’s poor showing came against his former team, but Seattle’s defensive effort extended beyond him: the Chiefs’ passing game also struggled. Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori said stopping Walker was a specific goal for the defense.

What's Next

Kansas City will try to rebound in Week 8 against Denver, whose defense has held opponents to fewer than 20 points in three straight games.

Bottom Line

Walker’s frustration was visible, but the larger warning for Kansas City is that Seattle exposed problems throughout the offense—not just in the run game.
