Marshawn Lynch says he laughed in Pete Carroll’s face after infamous Super Bowl INT

Marshawn Lynch Pete Carroll Super Bowl Russell Wilson Football Seahawks

Everything that comes out about the 2010s Seattle Seahawks’ fall from grace seems laced with drama. You have Marshawn Lynch revealing he doesn’t talk much to Russell Wilson anymore. There’s Pete Carroll discussing how furious some of his players were after a Super Bowl 49 pass play ended in disastrous fashion in the form of a game-clinching interception for the New England Patriots’ Malcolm Butler.

It’s that very sequence where Lynch recently decided to open up about on an episode of Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. After all, as the starting running back and the man who probably should’ve touched the ball near the goal line, Lynch was the one most directly affected. So, after ripping Carroll’s seemingly toxic positivity along the lines of “we’ll get it next time,” Lynch said he didn’t keep his cool.

He laughed right in Carroll’s face for “the dumbest call in football history.” Check it out below via a video from the Club Shay Shay podcast.

Honestly, I can’t blame Lynch. To lose the Super Bowl because your coach overthought the ending of the game is brutal. The Seahawks could’ve gone back to back and been immortalized as one of the greatest teams in NFL history. Instead, because of Carroll’s now-infamous call, they became a footnote in the Patriots’ run with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and have all of this inner drama to sort through to this day.
