Oakland native Marshawn Lynch gave his home fans something to cheer for in the Oakland Raiders’  home opener, scoring his first touchdown since 2015.

That’s certainly a typical Beast Mode play in that it was a short, but physical run, featuring a lot of contact. These kind of runs (and certainly results) are what the Raiders hope to see a lot of during the 2017 season.

It also came on Lynch seeing the ball three consecutive times near the goal-line. That’s a major difference from what we saw last week.
