Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s pregame hip thrust routine took the NFL world by storm in Week 11. Now, it’s become a touchdown celebration for teammate Ezekiel Elliott.

It came on a fitting play with Elliott making an impressive catch on a screen pass from Prescott then cutting upfield and heading towards the end zone. Once he made his way in, Elliott pulled the football up and emulated Prescott’s rapid hip-thrusting workout.

It’s clear there is a special bond between these two teammates and it goes beyond the big plays. Football teams are like a family and when the moment strikes, sometimes you have to have some fun.
