Benny Snell pulled a Marshawn Lynch.
Facing reporters following his ejection, Snell was prepared to face the noise with a simple statement that mirrored his postgame Tweet. "I got a very strong passion for the game. I don't feel like I did anything.
I don't need help getting up."
After that, it felt like the interview was taking place at the 2015 Super Bowl Media Day. Instead of, "I'm here so I don't get fined," Snell said, "I got a very strong passion for the game," and, "I like to play football."

After about a minute, Snell eventually cracked to compliment his quarterback.
"Stephen, he's like a quarterback god to me. I've seen that man take too many hits that you don't come back from. He's came back, he's overcome so much adversity. That's one of the greatest quarterbacks that I've ever been beside of. He has a lot of heart and I'm so happy for him. He had a great journey."
After today one thing is clear: Stephen and Benny have a lot of passion and love to play football.
