Marshawn Lynch showed up to support his old teammate on Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6 and Lynch showed up to see his former team play, and meet up with his former Seattle Seahawks teammate Russell Wilson. The two had a cool interaction before the game.

Lynch was walking around the field during pregame warmups, carrying a pair of black and yellow cleats. He walked over to Wilson and took a handoff from his old quarterback just like the old days.

It's highly likely a lot Seahawks fans saw that video and got nostalgic wishing they'd have just done that one more time late in Super Bowl XLIX.

Lynch and Wilson apparently still have a great relationship years after they last played together.

Wilson is active in Week 6, though he's expected to serve as a backup to Justin Fields as he recovers from a calf injury.

Fields has taken the Steelers to a 3-2 record so far, but Wilson is lurking over his shoulder.
