Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III made history on Sunday night, earning Super Bowl MVP honors following a dominant performance in the Seahawks' 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX.
After the game, Walker was quick to point away from himself and toward his faith. "First and foremost I wanna thank God," he said during his postgame remarks, acknowledging what he described as God's guidance throughout the season and the championship run.
Walker was the driving force behind Seattle's offense, carrying the ball 27 times for 135 rushing yards. His performance marked the first time a running back has won Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis in 1998. In addition to his rushing production, Walker added two receptions for 26 yards, finishing the game with 161 total scrimmage yards-nearly half of the Seahawks' offensive output.
The Seahawks leaned heavily on Walker throughout the night, particularly in the second half, where his physical running style helped control the clock and seal the victory. Several key runs late in the game allowed Seattle to maintain possession and keep New England's offense off the field.
Beyond the statistics, Walker emphasized gratitude following the win, noting the importance of the moment for his family and teammates. He also reflected on the significance of capturing the franchise's second Super Bowl championship, crediting the collective effort of the team.
Walker's MVP performance capped a remarkable postseason run in which he emerged as the engine of Seattle's offense. Throughout the playoffs, the running back consistently delivered in high-pressure moments, combining on-field excellence with a public expression of faith that resonated with fans following the game.
The Seahawks' victory and Walker's faith-filled response marked a memorable conclusion to Super Bowl LX.
