EA Sports burned the Seattle Seahawks after they complained about Marshawn Lynch's Madden rating

EA Sports released its list of the top-five highest-rated running backs in the "Madden NFL 16" video game Tuesday, leading to a good exchange between the company and the Seattle Seahawks on Twitter.

It began with the Seahawks account complaining about running back Marshawn Lynch's "trucking" rating. Lynch, who's the highest-rated running back in the game, was only given a 98 trucking rating. The Seahawks thought it should have been 99:

EA Sports responded by implying that if they wanted him to get a 99, they should have given him the ball at the end of the Super Bowl:

Ouch. EA Sports was, of course, referencing the Seahawks' recent Super Bowl loss. The Seahawks had the ball at the Patriots one-yard line with seconds reamining and a chance to win, but, instead of running it with Lynch, they decided to attempt a pass with Russell Wilson, who threw an interception to end the game.

Even though it's been more than five months since their heart-breaking Super Bowl loss, that still has to sting. The Seahawks were at least able to take it in stride, posting a funny clip from one of Lynch's rare interviews, admitting "they got got."

Trying to make light of the situation, Madden NFL then jokingly blamed the entire episode on a hacker.
