"No, I brought it in my backpack!" Lynch revealed.
Lynch handed out free turkeys for Thanksgiving in Hawaii last week, and he was in a similarly giving mood to Raiders fans last season ahead of the Silver and Black's final game in Oakland. He didn't share his preferred pre-game superstition, however, opting instead to take tequila shots with tailgating Raiders fans.
