Marshawn Lynch Video: Watch Seahawks RB Get Showered with Skittles

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch loves skittles. He loves them so much that they have taken over his touchdown celebrations and the fans are starting to get into it as well. 

On Monday Night Football against the St. Louis Rams, Lynch made sure that he let the world know that Skittles are a big part of his life and who he is. 

The Skittles thing has actually taken on a life of its own. It seems like a Pavlovian dog thing going on with Lynch and the rainbow candy.

It's gotten to the point where I just expect to see him stick out his hand for a bag of Skittles every single time he does something good on the football field. 

For those that don't know, Lynch's obsession with Skittles came from his mother, who used to give him a bag of them whenever he performed well in a game when he was a kid. The celebration has carried over to his adult life. 

It is a great promotion for the candy, but knowing that it is starting to get popular in Seattle, I am sure that the NFL will soon put a stop to the excessive candy celebrating because the league hates anything that might be represented as fun. 

Lynch got his beast mode on against the Rams on Monday and has had a surprisingly great season that not a lot of people are talking about because of the team that he plays for. He is going to finish with over 1,000 yards and double-digit rushing touchdowns. 

But no one cares about that when there is free candy flying around CenturyLink Field and the Seahawks keep on winning. At 6-7, they have moved right back into the thick of the postseason race. 

Maybe tasting the rainbow has given Lynch and the rest of the Seahawks magical powers.
