Since coming out of retirement and demanding a trade to the Oakland Raiders in 2017, Marshawn Lynch has yet to face the team that he built his legacy with and that granted that request: the Seattle Seahawks. In last season’s preseason matchup between Seattle and Oakland, Lynch kept his helmet off. This upcoming August 30, the two teams face off for another exhibition, and he’s not likely to contribute then either.
But in Week 6, barring anything unfortunate for Lynch, the Seahawks defense finally gets a crack at one of the franchise’s all-time greats.
