These touchdown celebrations around the NFL have taken on a life of their own. Once the league decided to go away from its archaic policy of penalizing said celebrations, teams have attempted to one-up one another.
The Minnesota Vikings are the latest to up the ante, and it’s all sorts of glorious.
After scoring on a touchdown pass from Case Keenum against the Washington Redskins on Sunday, Vikings receiver Adam Thielen set the stage for the best celebration you’ll see all season.
It's an @athielen19 TD…

Yes, professional Minnesota Vikings football players just did the leapfrog in the end zone. The level of choreography that went into this specific celebration is what’s so darn impressive. They looked like a synchronized swimming team that had been practicing for months.
Sure the touchdown itself was nice. But the celebration took this whole thing to a new level. By virtue of the score, Minnesota opened up a 21-17 first half lead against Washington.
