Marshawn Lynch’s Touchdown Run As It Was Meant To Be Seen: With Mario Sounds

Last night, Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch ripped off a 67-yard touchdown run that some are calling the run of the year (and one of the best runs in NFL playoff history). It certainly couldn’t have come at a bigger moment.

With his team up 34-30 with 4:20 left, the Seahawks were looking to keep Drew Brees and the Saints off the field for as long as possible. On a 2nd and 10, Lynch bulldozed his way past the first down marker, and then kept running, going through defenders like he was a green shell in Super Mario. He could not be stopped, rumbling and stumbling through multiple defenders. It was almost as if he was… invincible.

Which is why the video below perfectly encapsulates the biggest play from the biggest upset of the year:
