How many yards did Marshawn Lynch have in Super Bowl 49?

Marshawn Lynch rushed for 102 yards and one touchdown on 24 carries in Super Bowl 49 (NFL.com Super Bowl 49 box score (league archive)). The Seahawks lost to the New England Patriots 28‑24 after a goal‑line interception ended their chance at a second straight title.

Marshawn Lynch’s Super Bowl 49 performance

  • Rushing yards: 102
  • Rushing touchdowns: 1
  • Longest run: 24 yards
  • Receiving: 1 catch for 12 yards

The catch: Lynch’s powerful running kept Seattle in the game, but the infamous play call on the goal line — a pass instead of a hand‑off to Lynch — remains one of the most debated decisions in Super Bowl history.

His legacy with the Seahawks

Lynch is Seattle’s all‑time postseason rushing leader with 656 yards and 9 touchdowns. His “Beast Quake” run against New Orleans in the 2010 playoffs is still considered one of the most iconic plays in NFL history.

Who is Seattle’s biggest rival?

The San Francisco 49ers are widely regarded as the Seahawks’ primary rival, and the Week 18 matchup with playoff seeding on the line only intensified that tension (ESPN/AP recap (sports media)).

San Francisco 49ers rivalry

  • Games between Seattle and San Francisco are often decisive in the NFC West title race
  • Since 2012, the two teams have met in the playoffs twice, including the 2013 NFC Championship (Seattle won 23‑17)

The catch: rivalries shift with division realignments, but Seattle‑San Francisco consistently delivers high‑stakes football because both franchises have been contenders in the same window.

Who bet $1 million on the Seahawks?

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker placed a $1 million bet on the Seahawks to beat the Panthers, according to multiple sports‑betting reports (CBS Sports (sports news)). The wager was made through DraftKings and paid out approximately $909,000 after the win.

Details of the $1M bet

  • Booker bet $1 million on Seattle moneyline (‑357 odds)
  • Net profit: ~$909,000
  • Bet placed via DraftKings mobile app

The upshot: high‑profile bets like Booker’s draw attention to legal sports betting, but they also underscore the risk — had Carolina pulled an upset, Booker would have lost the entire stake.

Other notable NFL bets

  • A $4 million bet on the Super Bowl was placed by an anonymous bettor in Las Vegas in 2024
  • Celebrity bettors often drive publicity but represent a tiny fraction of total wagering volume

Game timeline

  • 1st Quarter: Jason Myers 48‑yard FG (SEA 3‑0)
  • 2nd Quarter: Ryan Fitzgerald 35‑yard FG (3‑3)
  • 3rd Quarter: Zach Charbonnet 2‑yard run (SEA 10‑3), Seattle adds second TD (SEA 17‑3)
  • 4th Quarter: Sam Darnold 17‑yard pass to A. Barner (17‑10), Jason Myers 30‑yard FG (20‑10), late Seattle rushing TD (27‑10)

The shape: Seattle dominated time of possession in the second half, holding the ball for nearly 20 minutes and preventing Carolina from establishing any offensive rhythm.
