Seahawks Ex Marshawn Lynch Trolls 49ers Fans After Super Bowl Loss: '(Bleep) You!'
The Seattle Seahawks still view the San Francisco 49ers as their greatest rival today, largely due to the battles they had with each other a decade ago.
In 2013, the Seahawks-49ers rivalry was arguably the biggest in the NFL. After splitting the regular season series, the two NFC West rivals met for a third time in the NFC Championship Game in Seattle.
It was an intense and very chippy game, with the Seahawks winning 23-17 to advance to Super Bowl XLVIII, where they would win their first championship in franchise history.

A decade later, former Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch clearly hasn't forgotten those clashes with the 49ers.
After San Francisco lost Super Bowl LVIII to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, Lynch walked around Las Vegas asking those passing by if they were 49ers fans. If they said yes, Lynch responded with a simple "(Bleep) you."

Lynch, a four-time Pro Bowl selection during his time with the Seahawks, has always been an eccentric personality, so this is completely in-character for him.
The 49ers have had the Seahawks' number as of late, winning the last five meetings including a playoff game last season. They've also been more-successful overall recently, appearing in two Super Bowls and four NFC Championship Games in the last five years.
As any rival should, though, Lynch will never pass up an opportunity to rub salt in San Francisco's wound.
