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

Walker caught a pass at the first-down mark from quarterback Geno Smith early in the second quarter. Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone tackled Walker and attempted 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 jumped back to his feet and continued driving toward the first-down marker. Just when it looked like Anzalone finally took him down, Walker put his head down and did a somersault and got the first down.

“I’ve never seen a play like that in my life,” Seahawks safety Rayshawn Jenkins said on the team’s website after the game. “So hats off to Kenneth. He keeps fighting when he’s out there. He’s not going down easily. And I thought the offense played great tonight.”

Seahawks head coach Michael Macdonald also cheered on Walker.

“I mean we’re talking about one of the guys who will fight to the bitter end,” Macdonald said. “This guy is as strong as nails. I mean the play isn’t over yet. I mean it’s just the way he can do it, plays are designed to fit into certain holes and with him it can just go anywhere.”

“And he runs extremely hard, plays hard, he cares. We’re going to lean on him moving forward. So it’s good to have him back.”

It was one of the most acrobatic plays of the season. Unfortunately, the Seahawks fell short in the win against the Lions, 42-29.
