On the list of highlights of the Seahawks vs. Saints game on Sat., Jan. 8, was an earth-shattering run by Marshawn Lynch. Lynch scored a touchdown after tearing through the defense, evading tacklers and offering a bone rattling stiff arm. Lynch jerseys should soon be worth their weight in gold. Some might go as far as applying for a pay day loan just to get their hands on one of these shirts.
Marshawn Lynch helps Seattle make relics of Saints
The Seattle Seahawks got Marshawn Lynch from the Buffalo Bills during the season. That meant two draft picks would be lost for Seattle. It appears to have paid off. Seattle booked a spot in the Wild Card round of the playoffs by beating St. Louis. One of the only teams with a losing record to beat the Saints was the Seahawks. This made the team much better known. All Seahawk fans were prepared to lose when the match against the New Orleans Saints was scheduled for the Seahawks. The Seahawks handed the Saints a 41 – 36 loss at Qwest Field. Any bonuses that get handed out will be earned.
The play called the Run
Lynch was expected to get just a few yards when "The Run" was played in the Saint territory on the 33 yard line. This is what the Seahawks blog states. Lynch ended up going through six or more defenders while they tried to take him down while he was in "Beast Mode" as he calls it. He also delivered a bone-rattling stiff arm to the Saints’ Tracy Porter, knocking him to the ground. Now, in the division round, the Seahawks will be going to Chicago and playing the Bears. Marshawn Lynch Seahawks jerseys should be selling like hotcakes at this point. According to the Seattle PI, the noise from the Twelfth Man, the crowd at Qwest, was so loud it registered as a small earthquake.
Other sporting news for the Northwest
There is some big college sporting news in the Northwest. The BCS Bowl Championship has been played between the Oregon Ducks and Auburn Tigers, while another smaller school can celebrate. The small-town, Division I Eastern Washington University Eagles did something big; they came from behind to defeat the Delaware Blue Hens in the FCS Championship game. Nobody though it would be possible for the Eagles to win this one. In the end, victory was shown while Vice President Joe Biden watched.
