Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker, Steelers safety Eric Rowe trade blows

Originally posted on 5 GOATs | By Nikki Chavanelle | Last updated 12/31/23

As the Seattle Seahawks drove down the field on the way to a touchdown, running back Kenneth Walker III had a heated moment with Steelers safety Eric Rowe. Ahead of the half, Walker got up from a tackle and hit Rowe in the helmet before the safety responded with a jab of his own.

The altercation came after the former Michigan State star scored the first touchdown of the game for Seattle. His teammates had to drive the running back away from the ensuing scuffle between the Seahawks offense and Steelers defenders. Quarterback Geno Smith capped the drive with a 12-yard completion for a score to rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
