Lynch Surprises Coach Macdonald in Seahawks Opener

Seattle Seahawks legend Marshawn Lynch brought some unexpected levity to the sidelines during the team's season opener against the Denver Broncos by giving new head coach Mike Macdonald a mid-game shoulder massage. The playful interaction came late in the first quarter as the Seahawks struggled offensively but managed to tie the game at 3-3. Despite a rocky start, including two safeties and an early interception, the Seahawks rebounded in the second half, largely driven by Kenneth Walker III's performance, to secure a 26-20 victory. Lynch's antics, along with the presence of other former Seahawks stars like Doug Baldwin and Kam Chancellor, added a touch of nostalgia and support. Macdonald, who described himself as 'always nervous,' found the encounter both amusing and surprising. The win marked a solid debut for Macdonald as head coach, setting a positive tone for his tenure.
