Darrell Bevell: 'Marshawn Lynch our best player on offense'

Seattle Seahawks offensive co-ordinator Darrell Bevell has revealed that he believes running back Marshawn Lynch is the best player on offense in the team.

Lynch recorded a season-high 76 yards through the air off five catches in the win over the Oakland Raiders last weekend, with Bevell becoming more creative with plays.

"We want to use our good players," Bevell said, The Seattle Times reports. "And he's definitely, probably the best player on our offense and we want to get him the ball as many ways as we can."

Seattle's rushing yardage has dropped from 149.8 yards per game to 146.3 per outing since their decision to trade Percy Harvin.
