I think he was supposed to run left, thanks to Bailey's block. but Zach Miller made Baileys job tougher by blocking their LB from the opposite direction. This resulted in Lynch running into Bailey, making that weird leg kick, and shooting off in the opposite direction. Fortuitously, this whole "change of plans" threw their safety for a loop, and he overran Lynch.
I'm certainly not criticizing Miller, or suggesting we were lucky. But that play is testament to Lynch's ability to improvise.
