Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch: ‘At the end of the day, I play to win’

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch logged 12 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seattle Seahawks had the chance to score the game-winning touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers with a one-yard run from Marshawn Lynch before a delay of game penalty pushed them back and, and well, the rest is history.

Lynch made a rare appearance in the locker room following the loss and spoke briefly to reporters.

Here’s the entire transcript of his press conference:

(On how it felt to score a diving touchdown into the endzone) Lynch: “It felt good man. But at the end of the day, I play to win.”

(On what his thoughts are on next week) Lynch: “I haven’t done anything fresh off of the couch. Your boy just wanted to get some legs. It was a great opportunity for that. A good defense. It was no shortage of a challenge out there.”

(On what was different about the offense in the second half when the ball was moving and points were being scored) Lynch: “I think we just settled down. I started to feel some legs come up underneath me. For the most part, I think everybody just settled down and started hitting their keys.”

Lynch finished the night with 12 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown.
