Marshawn Lynch causes another Beast Quake in Seahawks’ win over Saints

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is famous for making the ground shake with his 67-yard “Beast Quake” touchdown run three years ago against the Saints in the NFL playoffs. On Saturday, he did it again.

It wasn’t the spectacular TD run he had in January 2011, when the 7-9 Seahawks sneaked into the playoffs and upset the defending Super Bowl-champion Saints in Seattle. But in the second quarter Saturday, when Lynch powered up the middle and broke several tackles on a 15-yard rush into the end zone for Seattle’s first touchdown, the 12th Man at CenturyLink Field make the earth shake.

Three seismometers installed by the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at and near the CLink registered ground movement on that first Seahawks TD. Here’s the info from the PNSN:
