Seahawks safety Coby Bryant scored the first pick 6 of his career Sunday to give Seattle a third-quarter cushion against the Arizona Cardinals.

He celebrated with a tribute to one of Seattle’s favorite sons – a step in the step in honor of Marshawn Lynch. It’s a move that’s sure to cost Bryant some money while being met with rave reviews in the Pacific Northwest.

The play occurred midway through the third quarter as Seattle held a 7–3 lead. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray overthrew Michael Wilson on a fourth-and-1 pass from the Seattle 39. Bryant was there to pick it off. He then raced 69 yards down the left sideline to the end zone.

When he reached the goal line, he jumped backwards and grabbed his stride a la Lynch to the delight of the home crowd in Seattle.

The move was an ode to Lynch, the ex-Seahawks great who made the celebration his own, much to the chagrin of the NFL. Lynch first pulled the trigger while scoring a touchdown in the 2015 NFC Championship Game. The league deemed it “indecent” and fined Lynch $20,000 for the gesture.

The celebration has surfaced several times since, with the most recent repeat last week costing Lions receiver Jameson Williams nearly $20,000. Bryant, who is in the third season of his four-year, $4.5 million rookie contract, should expect a fine in the same neighborhood.

The Seahawks, meanwhile, are fully embracing Bryant’s celebration on social media with a compilation of Bryant’s stride next to Lynch’s.

Who did it better?
