There’s an unsolved mystery from Sunday’s San Francisco 49ers win over the Dallas Cowboys.
No, it’s not “What the heck was that final play about?”
Nope, it’s not “What the heck was that final few minutes of bad clock management all about?” Although we asked that, too.
It’s: “How the heck did Niners GM John Lynch go from the suite down to the field in, like, two seconds after he was seen on camera up there?”
Great question! I imagine the answer is something like: There’s an elevator that goes directly down to the field at Levi’s Stadium, quickly. But still, fans were wondering (and someone timed it!):
How did he do that?
Here he was saying Dalton Schultz’s catch with a few seconds left wasn’t actually a catch (he was right) … and then he suddenly appeared on the field all of two minutes and 10 seconds later:
It took #49ers GM John Lynch two minutes and ten seconds to go from the skybox to the sidelines, per @StatholeSports

Officially 2:10 (3:07:07 – 3:09:27) for John Lynch to get from press box to sideline. Historic time. https://t.co/03deGcz2AC pic.twitter.com/WtPJRQFEfv

I can’t be the only one wondering how the hell John Lynch got down to the sideline that fast…?

John Lynch was in the booth 10 seconds ago calling the pass incomplete and they just showed him on the sideline

Random, but… John Lynch was just in a suite and is now on the sideline. How?!

Still has HOF speed!
