Speaking of Lynch, it was completely unexpected to see the veteran running back come out of retirement prior to Week 17, but football fans in general were certainly glad to see it happen.

Even though Lynch is technically the enemy this weekend, no one needs to explain just how exciting of a player he is to follow, both on and off the football field since he happens to be one of the most entertaining players as well.

There aren’t many NFL players who can just jump right back into action after missing an entire season, and even though Lynch only rushed for 34 yards on 12 carries in the loss to the 49ers, the veteran should be able to top these numbers against the Eagles.

Since Lynch arguably deserves some benefit of the doubt for the first game back since it sometimes take a little of time to get used to playing again, this should be far from the case on Sunday.

Part of the reason behind the decision to bring Lynch out of retirement was to help Seattle during their playoff run, and the last thing the Seahawks want to see happen is this opportunity with the beloved running back go to complete waste.
