The Seattle Seahawks had the chance to score the game-winning touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers with a one-yard run from Marshawn Lynch before a delay of game penalty pushed them back and, and well, the rest is history.
Lynch made a rare appearance in the locker room following the loss and spoke briefly to reporters.
Here’s the entire transcript of his press conference:
(On how it felt to score a diving touchdown into the endzone) Lynch: “It felt good man. But at the end of the day, I play to win.”
(On what his thoughts are on next week) Lynch: “I haven’t done anything fresh off of the couch. Your boy just wanted to get some legs. It was a great opportunity for that. A good defense. It was no shortage of a challenge out there.”
(On what was different about the offense in the second half when the ball was moving and points were being scored) Lynch: “I think we just settled down. I started to feel some legs come up underneath me. For the most part, I think everybody just settled down and started hitting their keys.”
Lynch finished the night with 12 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown.
