SEATTLE (AP) — Four years after he last went through a full week of preparation with Seattle, it felt downright normal for Pete Carroll to see Marshawn Lynch carrying the ball during practice.
The only question that seems to remain at this point is how much Lynch will carry the running load on Sunday night when the Seahawks face San Francisco for the NFC West title.
“There's no question, it's undeniable, there's an energy about, a juice about him being back here," Carroll said on Friday. “He's just an extraordinary player and character over the years. For this opportunity and to come back at this time with everything going on — Christmas and everything, New Year's around the corner — it's just fitting we were able to figure it out.
