Finally, the NFL is giving us a fun reason to watch football. They’ve lightened up on the end zone celebrations and players are taking full advantage. Peep this week’s top celebrations inside…
With all of the controversy and negative media attention surrounding the NFL, the league is finally bringing some excitement back into the game. If you're still watching...
Back in May, the National Football League announced they will it will relax rules on celebrations. We can thank Commissioner Roger Goodell for the change of heart. He said the league wanted to allow players to have "more room to have fun after they make big plays."
You’ll recall, fans nicknamed the NFL the “No Fun League” with all of its strict rules.
The NFL ballers came up with some must see celebrations for Week 12, including the Eagles’ “Electric Slide” celebration, the bowling pin action, and their “Christmas Card” group photo. Atlanta Falcons baller Julio Jones did a "Red Light, Green Light" touchdown celebration, Bengals baller and new dad Adam "Pacman" Jones pretended to give birth to the ball after welcoming a son recently, Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson taking a nap in the end zone, and the Vikings "hosted" Thanksgiving dinner.
Peep the celebrations below:
