Kenneth Walker III delivered a dominant performance to earn Super Bowl LX MVP honors and lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 29–13 championship win. On football’s biggest stage, Walker controlled the game from start to finish and reminded everyone how powerful a true feature back can be.
Walker finished the night with 27 carries for 135 rushing yards and added 2 receptions for 26 yards, totaling 161 yards from scrimmage. He averaged 5.0 yards per carry, consistently moving the chains and keeping the offense balanced. While he did not score a touchdown, his presence dictated the flow of the game and wore down the defense.
Advanced tracking highlighted just how effective he was. Walker generated +42 rushing yards over expected and forced nine missed tackles, turning those broken tackles into 79 extra yards. That production came against a defense that had limited every other runner all season.
With the MVP win, Walker became the first running back to earn Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis in Super Bowl XXXII, ending a 28-year drought for the position. In an era dominated by quarterbacks, his performance stood out for its physicality, consistency, and control.
Super Bowl LX will be remembered as the night Kenneth Walker III put his name alongside the greats and proved that a running back can still define the biggest game of the year.
