Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch was ejected from the team's rollicking 31-30 Thursday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs before the comeback ever started. Lynch, who had just two carries and nine yards to his name at the time, shoved a referee during a sideline altercation after a dirty hit on Raiders quarterback Derek Carr.
You definitely can't do that to an official, Marshawn. #Raiders #Chiefs #BeastMode pic.twitter.com/y6ld3bhTJi

It was reported soon after Lynch was ejected that he put on his street clothes and left the stadium. But apparently that was not the case. Lynch just watched the rest of the game from the stands.
FYI, Marshawn Lynch did not leave. He has been watching the whole game from the stands

While that's a blurry photo and you can't necessarily tell it's him, this picture of Lynch back inside the Raiders locker room after the game essentially confirms it. He's wearing the same sweatshirt and hat.
