The NFL has issued a warning to the Seattle Seahawks over obscene gestures made during the playoffs. 

NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said the Seahawks have been warned about Marshawn Lynch's crotch grabs, and the team will be issued a 15-yard penalty if he makes the gesture during the Super Bowl. 

Lynch was fined $20,000 for the obscene gesture during the NFC Championship Game. Seahawks wide receiver Chris Matthews was fined $11,050 for the same thing, and Lynch protested Matthews's fine on Twitter.
