Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was fined $11,050 by the NFL for his actions while scoring a touchdown on Sunday, ProFootballTalk.com reported Thursday.

Lynch used a similar move to finish off his long touchdown run against the New Orleans Saints in the 2010 playoffs. He was neither flagged nor fined for his action that time.
