Guys. Michael Thomas went Joe Horn on them.
Thomas, with four touchdowns entering on the season, is one of the best wide receivers in the league. It was pretty likely that he would find the endzone again on Sunday.
Still. He buried a cellphone under the goal post, waiting for the moment that he would score to bust out the celebration — and man, was it ever timely, as he burned the Rams secondary to make it a two-possession game late.
The flags flew immediately, and Thomas is going to get fined. But who cares? That ruled!
If you want to see Thomas’ celebration played side-by-side with the original celly by Horn, Twitter’s got you.
If you want to see something even better than that, Thomas’ uncle, Keyshawn Johnson, took to Twitter immediately with the perfect photo.
There’s nothing quite like family. Or celebrations involving cellphones. Thomas will take the fine for that, and much like Joe Horn before him, he’s an absolute hero for it.
