NFL Week 12 Celebration Grades Amari Coo

[seestyle 0]

Style points may not show up in the box score, but they do in our weekly NFL celebration grades. Showmanship is as much an art as football itself, so it's important to appreciate the celebratory displays that we'll see every weekend during the season. It's also important to roast the players who clearly need to work on their celly game. Week 12 was one of the strongest collective efforts we've ever had, so let's get to the highlights. Thanksgiving stuffing Listen, I respect for picking off (that's not easy to do this season) but this celebration was a little too ill-advised. Not only did the runback not count (Kazee was ruled down by contact right after the interception) but he ended up getting rejected by a fan as he tried to jump in the crowd at the end of the return. Like, Dikembe Mutombo would have been proud of that fan's ball swat. That's not the result you want.Grade: F Still a pick even though it didn't go Marc-Edouard Vlasic Jersey for 6 The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) pay tribute to Soulja Boy What the hell year is it? Grade: D Hi thought you should see this The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Chicago cardio The have been exhibiting some very solid team celebrations lately and this is another solid effort, at least creatively speaking. However, the execution isn't perfect. It feels a bit rushed and the timing is off. Plus, last week I went in on players that run onto the field to celebrate (non game-breaking) plays that they weren't actively involved in, and the Bears had more than 11 involved in this celebration. That being said, I do appreciate the decision to Chris Tierney Jersey get a little extra exercise in on the week of Thanksgiving. Gotta earn that second de sert. Grade: C Bears D getting some conditioning in after the TD The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Thielen's FIFA lap Anyone who has played FIFA has most definitely had their goal-scorer celebrate with this exact same move before. It usually occurs completely by accident, but it's still enjoyable every time. Not as enjoyable as the rigid body dive straight to the turf, but Thielen can save that one for next time. Grade: C Thielen went for a victory lap after muscling that in The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Judon goes long Running straight off the field and down the tunnel after a sack is a little exce sive. Running straight off the field and down the tunnel after three straight sacks ... well, you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want if you record three sacks in a row, to be honest.Grade: B- When you make three straight sacks, you celebrate like Forrest Gump The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) The Scarn This is a deep cut by but it should be appreciated by every Netflix binge watcher on the planet. I'm Patrick Marleau Jersey thinking we should start a petition to get the team name changed to the Washington Goldenfaces. Grade: B . bustin' out The Scarn celebration The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Bears sing to anythingWould you look at that ... the Bears defense with another group end zone celebration making an appearance. Once again they're including a few extra participants, but we can let this one slide since it came after a ma sive play late in the game. I like all the moving parts and various roles being handed out here, though No. 44 and No. 22 need to get the hell out of the dance line if they're gonna bring that weak sauce. Grade: B . D dancing away with that Thanksgiving W The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Also, it's worth noting that this celebration inspired the #BearsSingToAnything hashtag on social media and produced a bunch of great results. Last one. Promise. The Buffalo Bro (@TheBuffaloBro) Adam He s (@_adamhe s) With that in mind, we may have to promote the grade to a B+. Straight cash, homie has made celebrations with the Salvation Army kettle sort of his thing over the years in Dallas, and it's easy Justin Braun Jersey to appreciate that when you consider how much exposure (and extra donations) they bring to the charity. Making a cash donation may not be as great as when Zeke literally donated himself to the bucket, but it was still pretty amusing. Extra points for donating $21 as a nod to his jersey number.Grade: A- . is getting fed early on Thanksgiving.Touchdown, ! : on FOX NFL (@NFL) do the limbo The Ottawa Redblacks did this one first, but I still appreciate seeing it brought to the and the Vikings did a very good job of executing it. I also love that they let an offensive lineman join the line to show off his stuff. Big men can be flexible too, you know. Grade: A- How low can you go? The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Cooper goes full Fultz Listen, it's been a tough week for . Not only has he been relentle sly roasted for his increasingly bizarre free-throw form, but the 76ers are reportedly with the second-year point guard. Yikes! But at least the No. 1 overall pick has this -- paying tribute to his juggling free throws with an end zone celebration. Judging by his reactions on social media, Fultz seemed to appreciate the gesture, so he has that going for him! The Cowboys play the Saints on Thursday night -- which you can stream on fuboTV -- so here's hoping Elliott and Cooper keep these celebrations up.Grade: A Amari Cooper is money from the charity stripe The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Lockett's Answer Unfortunately for Cooper, his Fultz tribute was not the best basketball themed celebration of the weekend. That honor goes to , who recreated Allen Iverson's infamous step-over Paul Martin Jersey emasculation of Tyronn Lue. The have impre sed with celebrations all year long, but this might be one of the best. The accuracy here is pretty astounding, start to finish. Those are some gentlemen who have been studying film for this moment, and it was all worth it. What a gem. Grade: A+ Lockett hit em with the Iverson stepover The Checkdown (@thecheckdown)
