Speaking to ESPN SportsCenter’s Michael Eaves, Raiders offensive tackle Donald Penn explained that his teammate Marshawn was simply looking out for Peters: “Marshawn was just trying to get his cousin and make sure his cousin was safe because Marshawn saw three big O-linemen going after his cousin and Marshawn knows how we get down as offensive linemen. And he knows how his cousin gets down, so I think he was just trying to stop something from getting bigger than it was. He didn’t know if a punch was going to get thrown or if it was going to blow up. I think he was just trying to get in there to get his cousin to the sideline, get things safe, get us back playing.” After being ejected from the game, Marshawn went up to the stands to watch the game with fans. Following that, he took public transportation home and didn’t exactly lay low like he might have wanted. FYI, Marshawn Lynch did not leave. He has been watching the whole game from the stands — Marcus Thompson (@ThompsonScribe) October 20, 2017 IM ON THE BART WITH MARSHAWN LYNCH pic.twitter.com/e0Bu7wQhCk — chris (@chandaye) October 20, 2017
