Hard to see what happened from that clip but it looks like the ref grabbed Lynch. If that is the case I have no problem with what he did.Official Driver of the Eagles Bandwagon!!!

Marshawn Lynch suspended one game
The NFL has suspended Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch one game for for unsportsmanlike conduct in Thursday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
NFL Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan issued the suspension for a violation of Rule 12, Section 3, which states that "There shall be no unsportsmanlike conduct. This applies to any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship."
Lynch also specifically violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 (g) which prohibits "unnecessary physical contact with a game official."
In his letter to Lynch, Runyan wrote:
"You made deliberate physical contact with one of our game officials as he was diffusing an active confrontation between players. You were disqualified for your inappropriate and unsportsmanlike actions. Your conduct included pushing the game official and grabbing his jersey…You were not directly involved in the active confrontation that the game official was attempting to diffuse, nor were you a participant in the play that initiated the confrontation. You were the only player from either team who ran from the sideline to midfield to insert himself into a situation in which he was not directly involved."
Lynch will be eligible to return to the Raiders' active roster on Monday, October 30 following the team's October 29 game against the Buffalo Bills.

I saw him defend his QB when 3 players hit him, 2 after the play ended. I understand why he did it andI understand why he would be penalized. But the ef appears to grab him and shove him when he is NOT in a fight. Sorry, but I can’t fault him for shoving the ref off.Official Driver of the Eagles Bandwagon!!!
