Yahoo Sports NFL on Marshawn Lynch

Lynch was benched on the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX, leading to an interception.

In Super Bowl XLIX, Marshawn Lynch, the best short yardage back of his generation, was not handed the ball from the one yard line for a game-winning touchdown. Instead, Seattle went to a spread shotgun set and threw, resulting in Russell Wilson's pass being intercepted by Malcolm Butler. The source notes Seattle's play call was horrendous and made no sense, as a play-action fake to Lynch in goal line formation would have been more effective.
