Where were you when Beast Mode happened? Most football fans remember the exact spot they stood (or sat) when Marshawn Lynch ran for the touchdown to end all touchdowns in January 2011.

Lynch’s Seattle Seahawks were big underdogs at home against Drew Brees and New Orleans Saints, who were fresh off a Super Bowl victory the season before. Seattle controlled most of the game, but they needed to run out the clock in the fourth quarter to keep Brees from a final, game-winning drive.

Their Skittles-loving running back did more than that. He broke roughly 57 tackles en route to an unforgettable TD that ended with his iconic “HOLD MA D---“ leap into the end zone.

Lynch has been an excellent running back since -- he helped the ‘Hawks win the Super Bowl in February -- but few people thought he would ever replicate the run that caused a minor earthquake in the Seattle area.
