The interesting thing is Lynch has done this many times and never been flagged (even though he has been fined). The NFL is putting their foot down and have told the referees if Lynch goes Beast Mode and does the celebration the Seahawks will pay.
The NFL wants Lynch to know that officials will be on the lookout and ready to assess a 15-yard penalty if Lynch does it again. NFL V.P. of Officiating Dean Blandino told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio that the Seahawks have been warned that if Lynch makes an obscene gesture at any time during Super Bowl XLIX, the Seahawks will be penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Blandino told Paolantonio that if Lynch grabs his crotch after scoring a touchdown, “that means they will kick off from the 20 yard line.”
Lynch is a team player, so I don’t think he will risk it, but……
If the Seahawks are up late in the 4th and he scores a TD that puts the game out of reach he might do it just to stick it to NFL.
