Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorChiefs running back Kenneth Walker rushed fourteen times for thirty-six yards in Seattle, and ESPN says he never gained ten on a single carry.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThen he skipped the postgame handshakes.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy take is that the handshakes are a distraction. Seattle shook him fourteen times, and ESPN says none of those carries reached ten yards.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe had been greeted at length.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. That's a very warm reception.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNext Gen Stats says he got nineteen yards on eight carries against seven defenders in the box.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy take is the handshake line was the only seven-man box Seattle forgot to fill.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT again. He did say it plainly afterward.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwenty to three.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBoth HOT. My take: thirty-five games without a hundred-yard rusher, so skipping the handshake was a scheduling decision.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHis longest run was seven yards. The walk to the tunnel was longer.
