Watch: Kenneth Walker III scores a touchdown on his birthday

The Seahawks have taken an early lead on the Atlanta Falcons, thanks to running back Kenneth Walker III… on his birthday no less!

Usually on ones birthday, the custom is obviously to give gifts to the one who’s birth we’re celebrating. Well, Walker decided to reverse the trend and give the Seahawks – and the 12th Man – a gift of his own.

This gift came in the form of a touchdown to help extend Seattle’s lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter. Walker’s 20-yard scamper is his sixth of the season, and a much needed one.

Walker was listed as QUESTIONABLE headed into this game due to illness. Thankfully, he was able to get over it enough to play. At the time this article was published, the Falcons did manage to respond to Walker’s score with one of their own, but Seattle still leads 10-7.
