Marshawn Lynch Ejected After Making Contact With Official 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Oct 20, 2017 2:42 pm

Marshawn Lynch was ejected from the Oakland Raiders' win over the Kansas City Chiefs after running onto the field during a scuffle in which he subsequently pushed and grabbed an official.

Lynch appeared to be trying to get Marcus Peters, who was penalized on the play for a late hit on Derek Carr. Lynch and Peters are good friends who grew up in Oakland together.

Contact with an official is an automatic ejection.

"I was disappointed that he ran out because I knew we had a 15-yard penalty and we were going to be in good shape," Del Rio said after the game. "I didn't get a chance to, like, have a conversation about it. I told him you can't leave the bench like that. And that was about it. Next thing I knew he was being tossed. The ref told me actually had put his hands on him. I didn't see that occur. Obviously, you can never put your hands on an official and he was DQed."

Refs are too soft
