The most creative (and most ridiculous) NFL touchdown celebrations of 2017-2018

The NFL isn’t quite the “No Fun League” anymore.

After plenty of criticism about coming down too harshly on players celebrating touchdowns in games, the league relaxed its penalty rules on celebrations for the 2017 season.

The relaxed rules allow a few new things for players:

1. They can use the football as a prop in celebrations
2. Players can celebrate on the ground
3. Group demonstrations are (finally) allowed

Keeping those new guidelines in mind, players have gotten creative with their decidedly theatrical celebrations.
