Marshawn Lynch hits paydirt in Seahawks' victory

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch rushed 6 times for 7 yards and a touchdown in a 17-9, Wild Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

What It Means:

The Seahawks totaled just 64 rushing yards on 26 attempts (2.5 per carry) against a stout Eagles' front, but Lynch was able to force his way through the pile for a five-yard plunge just before halftime. Travis Homer had 11 carries for 12 yards while Russell Wilson led the offense with 45 yards on 9 rushes. There should be more room on the ground in the Divisional Round against a Green Bay Packers defense that finished bottom-10 in rushing yards allowed. That said, Lynch is only managing 2.3 yards per carry through two games.

Lynch scored 10.2 FanDuel points in the Wild Card round.
