Doug Baldwin's Bathroom TD Celebration Earns Him a Penalty During SB XLIX
Wide receiver Doug Baldwin had a very interesting celebration after he scored a touchdown to give the Seattle Seahawks a 24-14 lead over the New England Patriots.
While the television broadcast on NBC cut away, Baldwin appeared to pull down his pants and pretend to poop the football. The celebration earned him a 15-yard penalty.
According to Chris B. Brown of SmartFootball.com, Seattle players have done this before:
UPDATE:
Per Pro Football Talk, Baldwin elaborated on his touchdown celebration:
"It will remain open to interpretation as Baldwin declined to discuss his inspiration after the contest.
“That is between me and the guy it was directed at,” Baldwin said.
Baldwin did say it wasn’t directed at Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis, who was covering him on the touchdown play and who appeared to be the target of some mocking from Seahawks corner Richard Sherman after the play.
"
In a move that surprised no one, Doug Baldwin has been fined for his Super Bowl "celebration."
