The Kansas City Chiefs lost their first game of the season 20-3 to the defending-champion Seattle Seahawks.

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 20-3 to the defending-champion Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. Running back Kenneth Walker III, who joined the Chiefs in March on a three-year, $43 million deal after helping the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, managed just 36 yards on 14 carries in his return to his former team.

Walker had rushed for 135 yards in the Seahawks' Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots last season. Since joining Kansas City, he had accumulated 703 total yards and eight touchdowns as the Chiefs started the season 5-0.

Seattle's replacement running back, Emanuel Wilson, thrived in Walker's absence, rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. The Seahawks had let Walker leave as a free agent and drafted Notre Dame's Jadarian Price as a replacement, though Price was recently placed on injured reserve with a chest injury.
