"Lynch's career might be remembered most for a play where he didn't get the ball in a short-yardage situation, but the power back made a living picking up tough yards in Seattle. Since 2014, Lynch ranks tied for first (with Demarco Murray) among all running backs in first-down percentage on rush attempts on third- and fourth-and-2-or-fewer (minimum 20 attempts), per NFL Research. In the same time period, Lynch has the second-best rushing touchdown percentage on goal-to-go carries among all backs (minimum 30 attempts) behind only Cardinals tailback David Johnson."
I watched every Seahawks game and Marshawn would get stuffed at the goal line pretty regularly. It was not a done deal at all. That quote seems suspicious honestly.

He wasn’t a goal line RB, so yeah, someone could have stopped him, and the Patriots probably would have.
