Seattle Seahawks Marshawn Lynch Laughed at Pete Carroll in Super Bowl Loss: 'What The F***?'

The Seattle Seahawks are still haunted by a decision to throw the ball rather than run the ball in the Super Bowl.

It somehow has been nearly a full decade since the Seattle Seahawks infamously opted to let Russell Wilson throw the ball rather than hand it off to Marshawn Lynch to win Super Bowl XLIX.

As we all remember and Seahawks fans likely try to forget, Wilson's pass was picked off by Malcolm Butler and the New England Patriots went on to win 28-24. Just when we thought we had heard all of the angles from this instance, Lynch made an appearance recently on Shannon Sharpe's podcast, Club Shay Shay, and shared a new angle. 

Lynch revealed that he and the team were so shocked at the play call that they didn't have time to register.

"To be honest, I looked at nine of the other guys, and they looked at me, like, what the f--- just happened?" Lynch said, recalling Wilson relaying the coaches' decision to pass the ball from the 1-yard line, trailing 28-24, with 26 seconds left. "Man, the look on all my teammates' faces in the huddle, it spoke volumes. ... By the time it (set) in, (I'm thinking), 'What the f--- did he just call?' You just hear all the cheering from the other sideline."

He also revealed his reaction to Pete Carroll on the sideline.

"As I'm going back to the sideline, I go by Russ, and I just hear him go, 'Oh man, I'll get 'em next time.' And as I hear the s---, I usually don't take my helmet off, but I take my helmet off and I go right to Pete Carroll's face and I hit his ass with the biggest (laugh). And at that point, I go to the locker room. I'm out. I don't see the last few plays. I'm in the motherf---ing locker room. I think I ran into Lenny Kravitz. ... I called my mama and called the family. 'Hey, come on, we back to the spot.'"

Lynch explained to Sharpe that he still doesn't have clarity or an understanding as to why they threw the ball. Lynch also shared on the podcast that he and Wilson never had an off-the-field relationship and has essentially reassured the rumors that have been coming out as to how Wilson acts towards teammates.
