The world seems to think Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch should have gotten the ball at the 1-yard line.
But Lynch supposedly was OK with the call.
Although he doesn't typically talk to the media, essentially stiff-arming most of the media access before Super Bowl XLIX, Lynch reportedly signed off on Darrell Bevell's much-maligned pass play (via NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala) that was intercepted by New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler.
In Week 7 of the 2013 season, Lynch appeared to flip the bird at the sideline — perhaps aimed at Bevell — when the Seahawks called for a 3rd-and-1 pass, bypassing Lynch at the goal line, that ended up in the hands of tight end Kellen Davis.
So at least Lynch didn't outwardly pan Bevell's call this time, and his words via Kinkhabwala appeared to bail out his coach, even thought Lynch reportedly pushed his way — albeit it appearing playful — past cameras after the game was not handled all that well.
Still, Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll both took credit for the play and the execution of it.
But the rest of the football-watching world might need some convincing.
