Browns Penalized on Consecutive Defensive TDs for Marshawn Lynch Imitation

Cleveland played loose in a low-stakes Week 18 after entering at 4-12.

Overview

  • Linebacker Devin Bush intercepted Joe Burrow and returned it roughly 97–98 yards, then mimicked Marshawn Lynch’s crotch-grab at the goal line.
  • On the next Cincinnati drive, cornerback Sam Webb scored on a fumble return and repeated the same celebration.
  • Officials assessed unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties on both plays, reported as 15 yards, and both touchdowns stood.
  • The flags had limited immediate impact as the Bengals turned the ball over after the first penalty and later punted after the second.
  • Coverage notes the gestures echoed Lynch’s iconic celebration and suggests the NFL could issue fines upon review.
