They didn't give him the ball on the last play of the superbowl because they didn't want him to win Super Bowl mvp. They didn't want their best player to win the mvp, so the spoiled overrated qb could get it. The football gods said interception, and now they'll be remembered for the worst call in football history.

[@Rick-bi9fw]

[@pushpak]

The reason that run is called 'Beast Quake" is because the crowd was so loud, it registered on the Richter Scale.

[@deadmeat_0152]

"It was later determined that crowd activity and noise was so great during Lynch's game-clinching touchdown run that a nearby Pacific Northwest Seismic Network station registered a small tremor, M=2 located at Qwest Field." from Wikipedia

Thanks Pushpak. It’s crazy! Amazing, but crazy that that could happen

[@rukus9585]

​@@DNReacts they have had a notoriously faithful and loud crowd for years. Seattle, and K.C. are known to be the loudest stadiums in the NFL. And if you look into the stands during a Seattle home game, you'll see tons of people holding signs that say "12th Man". This is because on both sides of the ball, there are 11 players. Seattle's crowd considers themselves an extra player, because of the noise and disruption in communication they create. Honestly, they're correct. I wish my team had such a home field advantage.

[@keithedwards5849]

True story and it’s amazing it happened but I think it’s equally amazing the volume in the stadium has to do with the design of the roof

[@earlyates1383]

Alluded to in the intro but not clear was the context of that game. The Seahawks had been horrible the year before and only made the playoffs that year with a losing record because the NFC West was so bad that year. Basically, they were the best of the worst division abd someone had to win. The Saint, meanwhile, were the reigning Super Bowl champions and expected to destroy the Seahawks. That run came at the end when everyone was still hopeful for a miraculous victory, but with Drew Breese on the other side they needed a cushion to feel any relief. That's why the cheer was so loud.

[@jonathanbartron3658]

His lower body strength and balance were freakish. Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, one of the most feared hitters EVER was asked , "How do you bring Lynch down?" Lewis replied, "Bring lots of friends."

As of this moment, Beastmode ranks 29th all time in yards. The "I'm here so I don't get fined" line is a classic. Marshawn was a severe introvert who would always try to dodge the media spotlight, something that was impossible leading up to the Super Bowl.

As you pointed out, his Seattle team would not give up on blocking for him. In those two biggest runs, his quarterback was downfield blocking for him! Marshawn was the heart of that legendary Seahawks team and on top of that they had their legendary "Legion of Boom" defense. That's another top video to chck out!

[@davedavenport8673]

and more context on the blocking. Pete Carroll is known for wanting to run the ball and punish opposing defenses as a main tactic of play. He has long held that when the offensive line has X number of blocks that take the opponent to the ground, they have a better chance of winning. I don't remember what the number is, but he got it from a coach he learned under in either Green Bay or San Francisco. He wants to make the opposing defense lose their will to keep playing. This also extends to the Wide receivers. He specifically looks for WR that are good team players and good blockers. He does not want some star WR that wants the ball all the time, although they have had a few of those during his tenure. Guys like Doug Baldwin, and Jermaine Kearse fit the mold of team player, good blockers and they were vastly underrated during their careers because they did not have huge stats like star type receivers.

[@DNReacts]

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

It's good to see that you recognize the value of blocking. Line play is one of the key things that separates the good teams from the bad ones. It's hard for quarterbacks, running backs, and receivers to accomplish anything without a good offensive line. You'd probably enjoy looking at highlights of Earl Campbell. He was a running back for the Houston Oilers before they moved to Tennessee to become the Titans. Campbell was very powerful, and seemed to prefer running over tacklers rather than trying to avoid them.

I think most people's favourite athletes are the idols they remember from childhood. This is mostly true of me, too. It's exceedingly rare for me to have an all-time favourite player in any sport who is younger than me and didn't enter the league until I was well into adulthood, but Marshawn Lynch is an easy exception. I could not possibly love this dude more than I do. Easily my favourite football player of all time.

Easily the most entertaining player I ever watched, both for his personality and his play on the field. Every single run was fun to watch, even if it was only 1 or 2 yards, because Marshawn was ALWAYS in Beast Mode and fought for every single inch. What a player

[@ragnarocking]

Teams make trades either for the players they're traded in return, or to free cap space and/or to receive draft picks in an upcoming draft. For example, last year the Chicago Bears traded some of their best defensive players, and cut/released some of their others - basically sacrificing any chance of having a winning season. Though, as a result, they walk into the new year with more cap-space than nearly almost any two teams combined, as well as a boat-load of draft picks to rebuild the team with. The team overall will get younger by drafting straight from college, while also ridding the team of toxic contracts of aging and less productive veterans that hampered the team’s ability to bring in more or better talent

[@pierregibson6699]

I was mad 😡 when they need that

[@ismokeyftw3919]

I don't know where I'd put him all time in a list but in his prime he was top tier in the league at his position. He won a Super Bowl and went to another and he was the main focus of the offense. He ran for over 10k rushing yards in his career which is a very tough mark to get to as a running back ( 28 others have done it in history). He is 16th all time in rushing touchdowns. For me personally he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. He epitomizes what it means to be a 'dog' in the sport of Football, which every other player will respect.

[@manamorphinpowerranger133]

for what and when he was, he's a great. I definitely second the hall of fame.

I believe BeastMode will be a first-vote Hall of Fame entry. His statistics may not be tops, but everytime he touched the ball, he gave everything he had. He never quit. He could finesse you, step around you, run away from you, or...as he seemed to prefer, just run right through you. As a lifelong Seahawks fan, I consider him to be the best running back in the 45+ years of the team's existence.

That one play was known as the "Beastquake" because of Lynch's nickname combined with the fact that the crowd's cheering was so loud, the exact moment of the touchdown was recorded on local seismographs.

[@JayceCornell]

The reason he went and played for Oakland at the end of his career is the team the Oakland Raiders were relocating to Las Vegas. Marshawn had already retired but he grew up in Oakland and wanted to play for his hometown team before they moved. It’s a nice story.

[@OwenSawchuk]

The interesting thing is that the coach of the Seahawks, Pete Carroll, also coached USC in the 2006 rose bowl.

[@adamplace1414]

I wish he'd have stayed for his whole career in Buffalo, but honestly a) Buffalo wasn't very good back then with or without him, and b) I think the trade to Seattle woke him up a bit. He matured a lot after that and became the guy everyone loved.

[@JB-gw8ee]

Everyone has their favorite RB and mine is Marshawn. That dude brought much glory to my Seahawks. As you guys noticed, that was a team full of bullies and tough guys (Defense was known as the Legion of Boom, check their highlights) Marshawn commanded everyone's respect. In a close game down the stretch, you knew Marshawn would rip off some huge play and put the game away. That guy gave us his heart and soul for the years he was a Seahawk. He even came back out of retirement at the end of a season when all our RB's were hurt and played a couple playoff games for us.

[@form2652]

8:35 You're exactly right. Arguably the most important part of a good run is the quality of the blockers. Not just the Linemen either, the Wide-Receivers and Tight-Ends are essential to get big yardage on runs. This comes down to schemes from the coaching staff, timing, and coordination between players. If a blocker is just 1 second too slow to their spot or get beat by a defender, it can change a play. Of course, many Running Backs can break tackles (especially tackles from Defensive Backs because they are smaller) and make plays themselves, but it is much more reliable to bank on the entire team creating an advantage for the Running Back than to rely on the Running Back breaking multiple tackles.

[@RemboBajingo]

As a Seahawk fan the decision to not give the ball to Lynch at the end of that Super Bowl broke me. In hindsight I believe that the Seahawks did not want to reward Lynch’s “bad behavior” with the press by giving him the game winning play.

[@DNReacts]

Surely the win is bigger than that though? Such a shame.

Don't know if anyone else has said it, but the reason that run is called "beast quake" is because the stadium got so loud it was picked up as a small earthquake an seismographs.

[@timcampbell5758]

As a Bills fan I remember multiple stories in the media about him being unhappy living in Buffalo and playing for the Bills. In fairness Buffalo is full of wonderful people, but the city has seen better days. Further, the Bills were in the midst of their “lowest” ebb as a franchise. They were not so horrible that they could get transformational talent in the draft but they couldn’t make the playoffs (16 year playoff drought). They were just mediocre. It became hard to keep players there, especially considering the relatively short NFL career.

[@shanestevens5352]

I think part of in an interview after Marshawn said that when he got drafted he thought he’d be in NYC where as Buffalo is more blue color. He was a young kid from cali who wanted to party. By the time he went to Seattle he just wanted to prove himself again after the hit and run

[@earlyates1383]

Not sure if anyone mentioned already, but after retiring, the Seahawks had virtually all their running backs injured heading into the end of the season. He came back as an emergency replacement with no offseason training. They said there would be no way for him to be in good enough shape to play. He played in 3 games and scored 4 touchdowns before the Seahawks were eliminated from the playoffs.

[@Ooohyeah024]

People can get traded for all kinds of reasons, they could want out or the team thinks they’re not worth the trouble or a contract is about to end and they want to get something for the player because he probably won’t re-sign. Trades are more frequent in basketball and baseball than in football

[@DNReacts]

[@wildo4459]

To this day, beast quake still gives me chills. I lived 3 miles from the stadium at the time, and you could feel the energy throughout the whole city. It was a turning point for the entire franchise, and rejuvenated the fan base. We weren't even supposed to be in that game.

[@Dredrick]

Marshawn had excellent blockers. It helps that he was such an aggressive physical running back that the linemen felt like he was one of them. He was knocking people down as much as they were, so they were motivated to give it all blocking for him.

[@topherwhite370]

At a recent Seahawks game, they honored the three seismologists from University of Washington that detected the Beast Quake. It was less about the crowd being loud and mor that the crowd was jumping up and down in near unison. When you talk about the blocking, yeah - part of the Hawks philosophy is that Wide Receivers are expected to block. A lot of teams baby their WRs. Not the Hawks.

I'm a Steelers fan, not even a Seahawks fan, but Marshawn Lynch was something else. And now he's getting into acting and he's hilarious in everything he's been in so far.

[@lancebramsay]

I can add some clarity as to why Marshawn Lynch was traded from the Buffalo Bills. He had solid seasons with them mired by off the field legal issues (driving under the influence charges). In 2010, the Bills drafted CJ spiller with the #9 overall pick to be the replacement at running back. Spiller had a great college career and was seen to have higher upside with his skill set compared to Lynch. Add in the fact Spiller didn’t come with the legal issues that Lynch often found himself in pretty much sealed the deal. Hindsight shows that the Bills made the wrong choice but it wasn’t that crazy during the time. Lynch was seen as talented but his knack for getting into trouble with the law off the field made him riskier to roster. The head coach of the Seahawks loves giving players second chances, so Lynch was a perfect fit in many ways.

[@jtoland2333]

Seattle will always adore Marshawn! He isn't just a great athlete, he is a wonderful and generous man who does a great deal for his community. ❤ I used to work for a family homeless shelter. Many times, the Hawks, and often their wives, would drop in to donate clothes, toys, food, or just give their time, Marshawn included. It didnt make the media, because they did it just to do it. Just wonderful people with big hearts.

As the great BMOnus said about Marshawn in one of his vids, "Marshawn is from Oakland. And for those of you that don't know about Oakland...Oakland don't f'n play." He's right - Marshawn grew up in one of the roughest parts of the US, was an absolute monster on the field and now he's one of the funniest guys to watch when he's just being him. You can find hilarious videos of him going overseas and touring places in Germany where he's legit amazed by everything, even just "Funniest Marshawn Clips" is a great search

[@crosion5]

Lynch was young and immature in Buffalo and had a lot of off the field issues. For instance, he was involved in a hit and run. There were other incidents too. Plus, Buffalo had Fred Jackson who was another good running back at the time. Getting traded to Seattle saved his career. He had some off the field issues there as well at first, but eventually matured and turned everything around. He really blossomed in Seattle.

I already know the linemen love you. Y’all give so much love to the blockers. I loved mine too👏🏽👏🏽

[@DNReacts]

Thank you, really appreciate the comment!

[@jeffthackston9572]

I don’t browse the comments every time…. So I apologize in advance if I missed it. Earl Campbell supposedly the largest quads of all running back. He was brutal …. Beast mode before Lynch. You should react to him.

[@markrobertdevison1227]

Earl Campbell was one of my favorite rb's but as far as largest quads, don't forget Robert Newhouse. He had massive quads.

[@DNReacts]

Earl Campbell will be coming in the next 2 weeks Jeff 🤞

[@spuds416]

The Offensive Line is often overlooked. They Keep the QB safe and open holes for the RB's.

[@jcritzz7837]

3:08 so at the time Buffalo had a loaded backfield. Fred Jackson was their number 1 guy and was an old vet then they brought in CJ Spiller who was fast and a great pass catcher. Lynch was the odd man out.

[@Dizturb3dwun]

Y'all need to check out the James Harrison highlights. He was the catalyst to the NFL changing all their "dont hit people in/with the head" rules

[@DNReacts]

Thanks for this one, have added to our list!

[@sambufalini4198]

BTW, that's Steve Raible, a former Seahawk wideout, calling the plays. "Touchdownnnnnnnn, Seahawks!!!!!"

[@MrJeddYoung]

Great reaction you guys. There's a long tradition of powerful running backs - Some others i hope you get a chance to watch are the original power back himself - Jim Brown. Other great ones include Earl Campbell, John Riggins, Jerome Bettis, and Derrick Henry - all fun to watch - as long as you weren't playing against them. Thanks for posting this.

[@DNReacts]

Thank you for the support as always Jedd, it’s really appreciated by us. I’ve also got some good news. From the list of players here, after we release Patrick Mahomes, the next two player watches are Jim Brown and Earl Campbell

[@RagnarokCo]

Kinda like was mentioned in the video they traded him because it was mutual. First of all Pete(head coach of the Seahawks) had history with him in college and knew his potential and style and Marshawn was not happy in the cold weather and being stuck across the nation from where he grew up. Also the Bills had some character concerns as if you get to know Marshawn he keeps it real and is from the streets.

[@michaelmarrone5768]

Marshawn Lynch got into a traffic incident late night in Buffalo early in his career. It got blown up in the media and I think contributed to his famous aversion to the press. He had his driver's license revoked and the people, press and management became disenchanted. Rightfully? Wrongfully? Who knows? Google it and make up your own mind. The upshot was the Bill's management decided to go in a different direction for running back and as a Seahawks fan I never regretted his arrival in Seattle. He was an unique individual and I thought he was hilarious. He was the heart and soul of those Seahawks.

[@KenjaminBanklinProd]

Seahwaks were down 4 in super bowl 49 with 27 seconds left standing on the 1 and threw a game losing pick instead of handing him the ball! and look up his interviews. theyre golden!

[@paulgosu2773]

As a Seahawks fan, I’m still so sick that we didn’t hand off to Marshawn in the end zone. I will never forgive that play call, until we win the Super Bowl again…

[@LeonardCartersureshotfoto]

Buffalo is cold AF in the Winter and he was born and raised in California, so it's understandable that he'd be unhappy in Buffalo. The weather in Seattle is very mild and it's much closer to Oakland where his family and foundation was based.

[@DNReacts]

Thanks for the context, makes sense!

[@justinrobinson6796]

You're right about the dominance of the seahawks. Look up Kam chancellor highlights for a switch up from RBs. You won't regret it!!

[@DNReacts]

Thanks for this one Justin, have added to our list!

[@liriqing7742]

His interviews are also the best, he hates the media, cause they are manipulative - would be fun, if you react to them aswell. - Great reaction guys

[@DNReacts]

Added his interviews to our list to take a look. Thank you for the support

[@ICGvids]

I witnessed many of those highlights in person in Seattle. The real difference between him and other running backs was the raw power and way he ran. He would run at defenders in an attempt to run over them rather than evade them and he had the power to do it. He made it painful to tackle him. You were not going to tackle this man without feeling it yourself. He’s an absolute legend. The Seahawks did have a good team around him but he was the main piece that made their offense go. Before they got him in the trade they were one of the worst in the nfl. They went from the bottom of the league to making the playoffs and beating the defending Super Bowl champs in the first round in that very same season mostly due to Lynch. P.S. the earthquakes are real. The playoff game at 9:50 when he scores, I was there and felt the entire stadium shake it was unreal.

[@rolandserafini]

He was the most fun to watch player in my lifetime as a Hawks fan. I dont think we'll see another like him as he was very special.

[@CrzyWzrd4L]

For frame of reference: 11 productive years as a Running Back in the NFL is incredibly rare. RB is the most physically demanding position in all of football, and the body can’t take it for very long. Most teams have switched to rotating between 2 different RBs just to even out the health and longevity of players, because a good RB will generally only last 5-7 years if they play every snap. The fact that BeastMode was an every-down back and made it that long is astounding.

[@GhostlyGhille]

As a saints fan the Beast quake hurt to see then but now, its just awe of the mans talent The Saints defense was crazy good that year, we were puttin up 28-42 on everyone and holding most teams to 7-14. He just ran through the entire defense.

[@t.google1495]

As someone who watches football A LOT, I still cannot believe that the Seahawks threw the ball on the goal line when they had Marshawn Lynch right next to Russell Wilson. In the Super Bowl. To lose the game. #1 Worst Play Call in the history of the NFL. I'm still shaking my head about it today. The silver lining though was that Darrell Bevell the playcaller was fired right after that lol.

[@teti_99]

My cousin Haloti played against Beastmode in college and in the NFL. Said he was the hardest RB to tackle in his entire career. And my cousin was no pushover. He's a future hall of famer.

[@brooke_reiverrose2949]

“I’m just ‘bout that action, boss.” One if the things he’s quiet about is his humanitarian work. He’s done a lot of charity work for poor kids in Oakland and Seattle, handing out free school bags and running football camps and he’s there personally. His friends describe him as loyal and always there for them. He’s genuinely a great person and doesn’t brag about the stuff he does.

[@Buuji412]

I'm thankful. I believe outside of some locker room issues, Lynch also had some legal issues pending during his stay in Buffalo. Rather than deal with the headaches and potentially losing Lynch for legal issues, they traded him to try and get something just in case he did go to jail.

[@cityshane1]

Marshawn Lynch baby all day one of the greatest ever, as a Bay Area native he is a straight up hero from the Town aka Oakland, California, Town Bizness, yay area, Oakland Tech, Cal State, Cal Bears all day, YEEEEE!!!!

[@philipcaseyacalloway204]

“Number 90 said ‘I’m gonna snatch those gold teeth from your mouth.’” Probably became best friends after that game.

[@joshpavlik3343]

If notice at times like at the end of the beast quake run he grabs his junk ad he makes his way into the end zone. The part that gets me still is the fact the crowd noise and vibrations registered on the Richter scale as legitimate earthquake. Also the time he rode a train back after a game with the raiders and if I’m not mistaken proceed to smoke some weed with fans.

[@pahtar7189]

One thing you don't see in a video like this is that a lot of these big plays occur late in a game because Lynch spent the first half of the game pounding away, gaining little yardage. He loved he rough and tumble part of the game, often laughing as he got out from under a pile of defenders, congratulating them on their effort. But in the process the defenders got exhausted, sore, and frustrated to the point where their ability (and willingness) to stop him drained away... and the Beast was unleashed.

[@kaseyhamrick6969]

I loved watching my dad watch that game! A seashawks fan since they became a team, went to the nfc championship the first time they ever got the chance to go. The pure joy was priceless

[@ursula1893]

Marshawn NEVER quits! Maaan, i miss those days. When the Seahawks formed the Legion of Boom!
