Pre-season football games are a big deal. In fact, they're such a big deal that Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch decided to mark the occasion with a celebratory plate of pre-game chicken wings before his game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Before you go asking yourself why a player would eat an entire chicken wing dinner before taking to the field for an NFL game, you should know that Lynch wasn't actually deployed in the game, so while his meal was unhealthy, he technically ate it on an off day.

Surprised he didn't use his Tom Brady jersey as a wing bib.
