We look back at the best dances, routines and games NFLers played and did after scoring.
Thanks to NFL relaxing its celebration rules this year, we got to enjoy players‘ creativity and joy after touchdowns.
With just one week left in the regular season and just days before the new year, we’ve decided to rank the best of the best.
I’m sad I can’t include this amazing Ottawa Redblacks celebration during the Grey Cup playoffs because it happened in the CFL. But it’d be No. 1 if it counted.
I’m starting off with one at I loved throughout the year. The Browns rookie tight end did this every time he scored this season, and it’s a reminder that personalized celebrations (like the Dez Bryant „X“ and the Gronk Spike) are also great.
I think it’s a tribute to this amazing practice moment:
They were supposed to shake hands and put a „positive spin“ on it, and while mocking violence isn’t great, using a celebration to trash talk a hated opponent is very funny.
Extra points because Gronk got into trouble about it and had a funny thing to say about it after the game:

Justin Coleman jumps into the Salvation Army Kettle, Week 16 I know it’s a penalty, and I know Ezekiel Elliott did it, but man, that never gets old. 16. The Lions‘ Rockettes dance, Week 15 15.

JuJu Smith-Schuster „locks up his bike“, Week 8 Here’s why it’s No. 1: The rookie had his bike stolen in a saga we all watched closely. When he got it back, he actually had a chain ready on the sidelines to „lock up“ an exercise bike. That’s some serious creativity and thought put in. Congratulations.
