Marshawn Lynch resting as back tightens up
Marshawn Lynch - RB - Seattle Seahawks
Dec. 9, 2012 - 5:55 PM ET

Marshawn Lynch left Sunday's Week 14 game against the Cardinals in the second quarter due to tightness in his troublesome back, but returned after a series off.

Lynch looked extremely healthy early, rushing seven times for 54 yards with two touchdowns. But midway through the second quarter, he was spotted on the bench with a coat on and chatting with teammates as Robert Turbin carried the load. The fact that he was allowed to come back in the game with the Seahawks leading 31-0 speaks volumes.
