Marshawn Lynch: I Wanted to Confront Pete Carroll After Infamous Super Bowl Play Call

Former Seattle Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch wasn't happy with head coach Pete Carroll's play-calling toward the end of the team's Super Bowl XLIX defeat to the New England Patriots.

During the most recent episode of the I Am Athlete podcast, Lynch said his first impulse was to get in Carroll's face about going with a pass play from the 1-yard line.

Few plays in recent memory have been as thoroughly dissected and relitigated than Malcolm Butler's game-clinching interception.

It was a seemingly straightforward situation. That close to the goal line, you give the ball to the running back who just made his fourth straight Pro Bowl and had already run for 102 yards.
