Seahawks’ Coby Bryant Fined For Marshawn Lynch Celebration

During Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks defensive back Coby Bryant brought Lumen Field to life in a way rarely seen in recent years.

Seattle’s defense had put on a suffocating performance, allowing just three points halfway through the third quarter. Arizona, desperate to get something going on offense, went for it on 4th and 1 on Seattle’s side of the field. Bryant was having none of that, as he came in to make an easy pick and return it 69 yards, capping off the run with a tribute to legendary Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.

The fans loved the celebration, but unfortunately, it will cost Bryant a pretty penny. The NFL announced Saturday that it fined Bryant $6,594 for an “obscene gesture,” which falls under unsportsmanlike conduct. Bryant did receive a penalty during the game, but since it happened after the play, it didn’t negate the interception or touchdown.

Bryant, who scored his first career touchdown on the play, would’ve liked to avoid the fine, but it’s probably well worth it given the circumstances.

“Actually, I talk to my dad and my brother before every game and I just sensed the energy from those two before the game, and I told them once I get a pick-six I was doing it, because we’re playing the Cardinals and everything,” Bryant said postgame.

Bryant, a third-year pro from Cincinnati, has enjoyed a solid bounce-back season after a bit of a sophomore slump. He’s started five of 11 games this season, recording 39 total tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions, including the aforementioned pick-six.

The Seahawks have now won two straight games to take a surprising NFC West lead, and look to keep their hot streak going when they face the New York Jets on Sunday.

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).

It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.

“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”

Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.

Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.

Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.

“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”

Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.

“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
