Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool gave fans a taste of the locker room festivities after Pittsburgh beat the Ravens to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The Pittsburgh Steelers may not have been eliminated from the playoffs going into the final week of the season, but it certainly looked unlikely they’d see the postseason.

Then something unexpected happened. The Jaguars shocked the Colts and the Steelers outlasted the Ravens in overtime to all but punch their ticket. All that’s left is for the Chargers-Raiders game on Sunday evening to not end in a tie.

Players and coaches for Pittsburgh were ecstatic over the victory, including wide receiver Chase Claypool, who opened up an Instagram Live from inside the locker room.

Immediately, some on social media pointed out that Claypool was doing exactly what Antonio Brown got in trouble for doing back when he was with the Steelers.

Of course, the situations are very different. Brown streamed head coach Mike Tomlin addressing the team in what was clearly a moment not meant to be shared with the outside world. Claypool’s stream just showed off the team celebrating a victory.

Claypool wasn’t alone in turning on Instagram to celebrate. Marcus Allen also jumped on to dance along, with Tomlin even joining in.

If that’s not an endorsement of live streaming from inside the locker room, under the correct circumstances, then you’ll have a hard time finding what is.

Claypool’s celebrations extended beyond Instagram. He jumped on Twitter to thank the Jaguars for their contribution to Pittsburgh’s now-likely playoff appearance.

Jacksonville eliminated Indianapolis from the playoffs and the Steelers are the big winners from it.

Once the party quiets down, Pittsburgh will have to turn on the TV to check in on the Chargers and Raiders. A tie is highly unlikely, but you never know.
