The NFL, notorious for not allowing fun, relaxed its rules on excessive celebration for this season. That’s led to players getting more creative than ever or, in Golden Tate’s case, taking some inspiration from a certain “Great One.”
After scoring on a sweet touchdown against the Saints, Tate did this:

Unfortunately, Tate would later leave the game with a shoulder injury.
