Seahawks safety Coby Bryant punctuates pick 6 with Marshawn Lynch cross grab that will surely cost him money

Seahawks safety Coby Bryant scored the first pick 6 of his career on Sunday to give Seattle a cushion in the third quarter against the Arizona Cardinals.

He celebrated with a tribute to one of Seattle’s favorite sons: a cross grab in honor of Marshawn Lynch. It’s a move that will certainly cost Bryant some money while he’s drawing rave reviews in the Pacific Northwest.

The play took place midway through the third quarter when Seattle had a 7-3 lead. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray overthrew Michael Wilson on a fourth-and-1 pass from the Seattle 39. Bryant was there to take the ball. He then raced 69 yards down the left sideline to the end zone.

As he reached the goal line, he jumped back and grabbed his crotch à la Lynch, much to the delight of the home crowd in Seattle.

The move was an ode to Lynch, the great ex-Seahawks who made the celebration his own, much to the chagrin of the NFL. Lynch first made the move when he scored a touchdown in the 2015 NFC Championship. The league deemed it “obscene” and gave Lynch $20,000 for the gesture.

The party has surfaced several times since, with the most recent iteration last week costing Lions receiver Jameson Williams nearly $20,000. Bryant, who is in the third season of his four-year, $4.5 million rookie contract, should expect to be fined in the same neighborhood.

The Seahawks, meanwhile, are fully embracing Bryant’s celebration on social media, with a combination of Bryant’s crotch hold next to Lynch’s.

Who did it better?
