The Seahawks don't appear to be on their way to their third straight Super Bowl, so Marshawn Lynch's agent lashed out.
Doug Hendrickson, who represents the running back, took to Twitter Sunday to vent his frustrations about Russell Wilson's play during the team's 39-32 loss to the Cardinals. The agent blasted the signal caller in a tweet that has since been deleted, but was picked up by NFL Network reporter Rand Getlin.

Wilson and Seattle saw their two-game winning streak come to an unceremonious end Sunday at CenturyLink Field while the defending NFC champions fell to 4-5, three games behind Arizona in the NFC West.
Perhaps Hendrickson is still harboring ill will toward the play calling that went against his client and potentially cost the Seahawks Super Bowl XLIX against the Patriots in February.

With the Seahawks trailing the Patriots 28-24 in the waning seconds of the game, Lynch ran the ball four yards to New England's 1-yard line. Everyone in the world knew the obvious call was to run the ball with Lynch, but Seattle called a passing play, and the ensuing attempt was picked off by Brandon Browner to seal the game for New England.
The loss ended the Seahawks' bid to become the first team since the Patriots (2004-05) to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles. While the world has moved on and even Lynch made light of it during an episode of "The League," it appears Hendrickson hasn't gotten over it.
On Sunday, Wilson completed just over 43 percent of his passes against Arizona and threw for a touchdown while adding an interception. His performance got a rise out of his running back's agent.
Hendrickson may have tried to delete the tweet directed at Wilson, but Twitter never forgets.
