Smith threw to his running back Alex Anzalone, who appeared to fall just short of the first-down marker, but Walker refused to go down:
Anzalone initially swarmed Walker on the turf, but the running back ran over the linebacker, forcing Walker to continue fighting for a first down. Anzalone again tried to tackle Walker, but overcame him, and ultimately passed the first-down marker.

That effort paid off, as the Seahawks ultimately finished the drive with a touchdown.
From Walker himself:
blow the whistle.
