30 best NFL touchdown celebrations of all-time
By John Buhler
20. Antonio Brown hugs that goal post
Of all the players in the AFC today, we’re pretty sure that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown likes to celebrate more than anybody. He has to be so fired up to have all these celebration limitations removed from the game.
Of course, he can still get fined by the league office, as well as get hurt doing the occasional spontaneous celebration. The best illustration of this is when he took Pat McAfee’s punt back for a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts in 2015.
Brown pretty much knew that he was going to get into the end zone, because besides McAfee and quarterback Andrew Luck, who’s good on the Colts, honestly? Given that Brown mostly gets into the end zone as a wide receiver, special teams scores are all the more rarer. No doubt he was amped to get into the end zone on that punt return.
Brown was so excited that he straight up nutcrackered himself on the goal post. He embraced it with open arms and technically open legs. Didn’t think that one through now did you, buddy? Was Brown wearing protection during that game? Potentially, but we all know how that would have effected his otherwise flawless dance moves. Next time, pick a better dance partner than that rigid goal post that should you no love that one time. Ouch!
