Seahawks punt for the third time as Kenneth Walker gets closer to 100 yards

The Seattle Seahawks started a drive at their own 29-yard line following a fair catch by Rashid Shaheed on a 38-yard punt by the Patriots' Bryce Baringer. This marked Seattle's second-best starting position in the game. Running back Kenneth Walker contributed significantly with 11 carries for 81 yards, emerging as an early MVP candidate. Walker also made a 6-yard reception on a third-and-3 play. Despite his efforts, the Seahawks' drive stalled when Walker dropped a pass from quarterback Sam Darnold on third-and-5 at the New England 42-yard line.
