Marshawn Lynch did leave the Oakland Raiders’ locker room after being ejected from Thursday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he did stick around — as a fan.
First KRON’s Henry Wofford reported that Lynch had left the locker room and was headed to his car after his ejection. CBS’ Tracy Wolfson later confirmed that Lynch had left.
However, Marcus Thompson said that Lynch did not leave the stadium, and that he actually went to watch the game from the stands.
FYI, Marshawn Lynch did not leave. He has been watching the whole game from the stands

Great spot for Marshawn if they mark it at the 1/2 yard line. #Oh pic.twitter.com/CtjdWPQMDw

Lynch was then in the tunnel watching his team score the game-winning touchdown in a 31-30 comeback victory over Kansas City.
Stood next to Marshawn Lynch during the winning TD. Said he couldn't leave his guy's alone. Went and spent time with family after ejection.

I will say Marshawn Lynch is loyal. He was very emotional in the tunnel during the final minute of the game. He was shouting "Oh my GOD"

Change of heart. Lynch was not in the locker room for halftime but decided not to go home, retuned to team tunnel with a minute remaining.

Lynch had just two carries for nine yards in the game. He can probably expect discipline from both the league and team for his conduct with the official and after his ejection.
