Commentary: Marshawn Lynch looks smashing in his Raiders debut

NASHVILLE — Marshawn Lynch made just one wrong turn Sunday.

The Raiders running back mistakenly opened a side door at the back of Jack Del Rio’s press conference after a 26-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans.

Suddenly, the media-averse Lynch found himself staring into a packed room of reporters — notebooks out, cameras rolling.

“Oh (shoot),” Lynch said, although his actual phrasing was less quotable.

Del Rio, who was mid-sentence raving about kicker Gregorio Tavecchio, called an audible. “By the way,” the coach said, “Marshawn ran really well today.”
