Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was fined $11,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct after grabbing his crotch at the end of his 79-yard Beast Mode touchdown run in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to a report from Pro Football Talk.
“I think that may have been better than the BeastQuake,” quarterback Russell Wilson said about Lynch’s overall touchdown run in a postgame interview.
It was very similar to the original Beast Quake run on Jan. 8, 2011. That 67-yard touchdown run was in the fourth quarter of a NFC wild-card playoff game against the New Orleans Saints. It’s called the Beast Quake because the celebration was so loud it registered on a nearby seismograph.
Lynch also made the same crotch-grab gesture and backwards dive at the end of that run. But Lynch was not penalized for his actions on that play.
The Seahawks final regular season game is Sunday at 1:25 p.m. against the St. Louis Rams at CenturyLink Field. Click here to see photos from the Seahawks' win against the Cardinals.
