After being ejected from Thursday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch watched the rest of the game from the stands.

Lynch was photographed with his face covered in the stands and then again on the train after the game.

The Raiders won Thursday’s game, 31-30.

Lynch was ejected in the second quarter of Thursday night’s game for contact with an official.

Lynch, who was not in the game at the time, ran off the sideline after a late hit on Radiers quarterback Derek CArr by Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters. A flag was thrown after the late hit, but Lynch ran into the fight anyway.

"I was disappointed he ran out because I knew we had a 15-yard penalty and we'd be in good shape," Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said, according to ESPN. "I told him you can't leave the bench like that. That was about it. Next thing I knew, he was being tossed. The referee told me he had actually put his hands on him."

Lynch had two carries for nine yards before his ejection.

Physical contact with an official is a fine over $30,000.
