The Seattle Seahawks found themselves in a bad spot against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional round contest. Down 21-3 in the third quarter, Seattle was desperate for a score. That's exactly what Marshawn Lynch got them.
The Seahawks just signed Lynch before the end of the regular season due to injuries at the running back spot. He has shown that there is no retirement rust, though. Lynch will still run through his opponents.
On this particular play, Lynch was stopped well before the line of scrimmage even. Instead of stopping, his legs just kept moving, though. And that led to good things.
Lynch pushed his way into the end zone and kept the hopes alive for Seattle. This touchdown made the score 21-10. That made the game much more interesting, even for a little bit.
While the Packers very quickly responded with a touchdown of their own to make it a 28-10 lead. That may have flipped the momentum back to Green Bay. However, Lynch's touchdown is still very important.
It put Seattle in a position to come back. If he did not find the end zone on that run, the Packers' next touchdown could have sealed the victory. Instead, the Seahawks are still breathing. That's what Lynch does; he keeps the legs moving.
