LONDON — Perhaps the defining moment of Marshawn Lynch’s six-year tenure with the Seattle Seahawks came when he didn’t get the ball.
The play is fresh in everyone’s mind with Lynch facing his former team in the regular season on Sunday for the first time since retiring in early 2016, especially since it resurfaced in the Raiders’ loss to the Chargers last Sunday. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll neglected to feed Lynch on the 1-yard line in Super Bowl 49 with the Seahawks down four to the Patriots and under 30 seconds remaining. Russell Wilson threw an interception, and Lynch was denied a second straight championship.
