Jack Del Rio wasn't thrilled with Marshawn Lynch's decision that led to his ejection from Thursday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Oakland Raiders running back was kicked out of the game for leaving the sidelines to interject himself into an altercation where he made contact with an official.

"I was disappointed that he ran out because I knew we had a 15-yard penalty and we were going to be in good shape," Del Rio told reporters postgame. "I didn't have a chance to have much of a conversation about it. I told him you can't leave the bench like that and that was about it.

"Next thing I knew he was being tossed and the ref told me that (Lynch) had actually put his hands on him. I didn't see that occur. Obviously, you can never put your hands on an official and he was DQ'd."

Lynch left the locker room to watch the game in the stands after the ejection and was seen returning to his team after the game, though he declined to speak to the media.
