Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch leaves his emotion on his sleeves, whether he's on the field or off of it. He's unequivocally himself at all times, and given the strict nature of the NFL, it often gets him in trouble.
Lynch's latest fine was issued by the league after he yelled at an official at the conclusion of the Raiders' loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Per the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport:
Raiders RB Marshawn Lynch was fined $24K and change for unsportsmanlike conduct regarding his actions with a referee, source said.
For the first offense of a “verbal or other non-physical offense against an official,” a fine of $24,309 is issued. Lynch had a “physical” run-in with a referee earlier this season that led to a one-game suspension.
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr dove for the pylon in an attempt to take a late lead against the Cowboys on Sunday night, but unfortunately for Oakland, he fumbled the ball through the end zone for a touchback. As it became clear what the officials were going to call, Lynch stormed down the sideline and was seen berating one of the referees on the television feed.
The loss dropped Oakland's already slim playoff odds to below one percent.
