Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch can expect a hefty fine for an incident that took place in the second quarter of the Thursday Night Football game with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Following a late hit on Raiders quarterback Derek Carr by Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters, Lynch stormed onto the field and headed straight for the scuffle that had broken out after the initial penalty was called.
It was then that Marshawn Lynch grabbed an official by the collar and shoved him away, for which he was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct and could be fined $30,38 for making contact with an official according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Yeah, he definitely shouldn't have done that.

Leaving the bench is considered a serious penalty as it is, but to rough up an official is asking for the harshest punishment possible and the footage does not look good for Beast Mode in that regard.
Lynch was then reported to have been escorted off the field by security before leaving the arena entirely. It is unclear whether or not he will face a suspension.
As he had only rushed twice for nine yards, this was his only contribution to a game that would only get crazier, with the Raiders winning on the final play of the game 31-30 after a ridiculous series of penalties.
