Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch felt good in his first game back in the NFL in over a year and said he felt his legs get stronger throughout the game against the 49ers.
Lynch finished the game with 34 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. He probably would have had a chance for another touchdown late in the game, but the Seahawks took a delay of game penalty that backed them off the goal line. After the game, Lynch said he felt good, but he came here to win.
“It felt good, but at the end of the day, you know, I play to win. So, (expletive). It is what it is,” Lynch said after the game via Curtis Crabtree of Pro Football Talk.
It took until the second half for the Seahawks' offense to get anything going, and that's when Lynch started to feel his legs gain some traction.
“I think we just settled down,” Lynch said. “I started to feel some legs come up underneath me. But, for the most part I think just overall, the whole situation, everybody settled down and started hitting their keys and (expletive).”
Lynch was also impressed with how good the 49ers' defense was, and was happy to get a challenge in his first game back with the Seahawks.
“It was a great opportunity for that,” Lynch said. “A good defense. No shortage of a challenge out there, so. At the end of the day, you feel me, it’s just all (expletive).”
The Seahawks go on the road on Wild Card weekend, and if they want to win they probably are going to need a big game out of Lynch.
