After the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals (19-3) Sunday night, reporters crowded around Seahawks running back Lynch, posing several questions that he answered with a simple “Yeah.”
“How does your back feel, Marshawn?” asked one reporter. Lynch’s answer: “Yeah.”
“How are you feeling, Marshawn?” asked another. The reply: “Yeah.”
“Talk about the Cardinals defense.” Also: “Yeah.”
To be fair, Lewis did throw a few other answers into the mix. When a reporter asked if it was tough to rebound from his game on Thursday after feeling unwell, Lynch said, “Maybe.” He gave one two-word response when asked what he listened to on the way over: “No Juice.”
The especially brief replies come after Lynch was fined $100,000 for refusing to speak with reporters after a losing game. His entire interview can be watched on NFL.com, or see the transcript below with his full responses:
