Marshawn Lynch no longer has unfinished business.
The Seahawks gave the ball to Lynch on the one-yard line Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers and the running back punched it in to score his first touchdown in his second stint in Seattle.

Unlike in Super Bowl XLIX, the powers that be opted to run the ball and turned to the one player who could get it done.
Lynch didn’t get his first carry of the game until late in the first quarter. As expected, rookie Travis Homer got the start Sunday night. Here’s a look at Lynch’s first touch.

Although the Seahawks ultimately lost the game 26-21, the fans got to see what they’ve been waiting over four years for . . . the return of Lynch and his epic touchdown performances.
