The Facts: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL fined Lynch $20,000 for an obscene gesture after his TD in Sunday's NFC Championship game, per an NFL official.

Diehards Line: But that was just the start of what was a costly Sunday and could be a costly Super Bowl week for Lynch. The NFL is considering fining Lynch "significantly more" than the $50,000 it has fined him in each of the past two seasons for not speaking to the media, something Lynch declined to do post-game again Sunday, an NFL official told Schefter. Lynch is required to speak to the media Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week. An NFL official told Schefter, there would be increasing fines for each session Lynch missed, with each fine being more than the two $50,000 fines already imposed and the upcoming one that soon is expected to be handed down. As of now, the NFL and Seahawks are in discussions about the best way to handle Lynch.
