Seahawks’ Kenneth Walker literally somersaulted over Lions’ Alex Anzalone for a stunning first down

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker wasn’t about to let Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone take him to the ground before getting a first down during Monday Night Football.

On the same night that Lions quarterback Jared Goff spun around and still threw for a first down, Walker evaded an Anzalone tackle by literally somersaulting over the defender and powering ahead for positive yardage.

Seriously, this is incredible. How did he pull this off? Anzalone looked like he had him pinned, but Walker absolutely refused to go down.

The referees never blew the play dead, so Walker continuing the fight for the first down paid off swimmingly for the Seahawks. Talk about commitment!
