Marshawn Lynch’s Christmas got a little less merry today.

The Seattle Seahawks star running back was fined $11,050 by the league for unsportsmanlike conduct during Seattle’s win over the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, according to Pro Football Talk and the NFL’s nfl.com.

Lynch received the fine for his backward dive while making a gesture with his right hand as he crossed the goal line during his 79-yard touchdown run, according to the report.

Lynch made the same gesture at the tail end of his memorable “Beast-quake” run against the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs four years ago. But he was neither fined nor flagged for the gesture at that time.
