Film Study: Marshawn Lynch 35-Yard Reception
By Ben Peacock
On Sunday the Seahawks were tied zero to zero with the 49ers when the Seahawks hit their first big play of the game to Marshawn Lynch for a 35-yard gain to the 27-yard line. The Seahawks wouldn’t score on this drive but the field position would lead to the Seahawks first points when they forced a 49ers safety two plays after punting.

The Hawks would eventually go on to win this game easily 29 – 3 and head into this weekend favored by 19.5 points at home against Jacksonville, and plays like this make the highest point spread of the season look like a sure bet against maybe the leagues worst team. Next Week I plan to take a look at some things Seattle does defensively, base coverages, alignments and the sort to offer a basic understanding for the interested fan.
