Steve Dykes—Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Nov 24, 2014 4:14 PM UTC 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.
