I saw a Super Bowl prediction column asking whether the Patriots can stop Marshawn Lynch, which seemed to lean towards the answer "No". So, just for the heck of it, I decided to check whether the Patriots had in fact stopped Lynch in the past.

By the way, those are better numbers on average than he had in the one game he played against the Patriots as a member of the Seahawks. What went right for the Seahawks offensively in that game were 3-4 long passes. http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=321014026
