Russell Okung recalls ‘rarely used’ play that led to Marshawn Lynch’s ‘Beastquake’

There have been bigger wins and more important moments in Seattle Seahawks franchise history, but perhaps no play will endure as one of the all-time great NFL highlights than Marshawn Lynch’s 67-yard touchdown against the New Orleans Saints in the 2010 Wild Card Round.

Lynch seemingly ran through the entire city of New Orleans on his way to the end zone for the game-clinching score. The 7-9 Seahawks were heavy underdogs against the reigning Super Bowl champions, but Pete Carroll’s first playoff game as Seahawks head coach ended in a 41-36 upset regarded as one of the greatest NFL postseason upsets.
