Marshawn Lynch made his much-anticipated return to the Seattle Seahawks setup when he signed a deal alongside former teammate Robert Turbin on December 23, 2019. This was a direct consequence of the situation Seattle were in, having lost three running backs to injury. Earlier, Lynch made his debut with the Seahawks in week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers. During the game, Lynch rushed 12 times for 34 yards and made a touchdown in the 26–21 loss.
