(NEW YORK) — While many football fans were impressed by Marshawn Lynch’s 79-yard touchdown run against the Arizona Cardinals; the NFL was not.
The NFL fined Lynch $11,050 for grabbing his groin as he flipped backwards into the end zone at the culmination of the impressive charge.
Many titled the latest run by Lynch as “Beast Quake 2” after his magnificent dash reminded fans of the famous moment in which he ran 67 yards and broke seven tackles in the 2011 wild card playoff game against the Saints.
Interestingly, Lynch grabbed his crotch after the 2001 run, but was not fined. This time, the NFL took notice.
ProFootballTalk first reported the fine.
