The Detroit Lions had several INCREDIBLE celebrations against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here’s videos of the best ones.
The Detroit Lions seemed to know they were about to obliterate the Jacksonville Jaguars because they came prepared on Sunday with the celebrations. Lions players have put a lot of thought and creativity into their touchdown dances this year, and there was no shortage of opportunities to show that off to the world in Detroit’s 52-6 victory that included touchdowns on seven straight offensive drives—all of which were 60 yards or longer.
So here’s a recap of all the Lions’ best celebrations from Sunday’s win.
David Montgomery hits the Pee Wee Herman “Tequila” dance
As is usually the case with this team, running back David Montgomery was the first to hit the end zone with a 2-yard touchdown. He immediately sought out the CBS camera crew to do his little Pee Wee dance.

And if you aren’t aware of the inspiration, here’s the original dance from the movie “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.”
Amon-Ra St. Brown gets “Kamehameha’d” by both running backs
For you anime fans out there, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown gave a nod to “Dragon Ball Z.” He corralled both running backs to deliver Goku’s “Kamehameha” attack to his midsection. St. Brown has a career as a stuntman out there if this football thing doesn’t work out.

Jameson Williams goes “BeastMode”
Lions receiver Jameson Williams will almost certainly have to pull out the checkbook for this one, but as he leaped into the endzone on his 64-yard touchdown, he channeled Marshawn Lynch’s iconic crotch-grab celebration.

He also did a little dance at the end, and I have no idea what it was.

Kerby Joseph goes bowling
The defense wanted in on the fun, and Lions safety Kerby Joseph got his chance after yet another impressive interception. After some solo celebrating, Joseph then motioned the entire defense into the end zone so he could bowl a strike with them.

Za’Darius Smith crawls, eats, dances with Rodrigo
While this would eventually get downgraded into a half-sack, Za’Darius Smith’s Lions debut came with some much-needed pass rush. When he finally got to Mac Jones in the second half, Smith couldn’t help but let his excitement and personality come through with a three-part celebration: the army crawl, the “feed me” spoon, and then Malcolm Rodriguez found him for a little golf and jig that may be Donald Trump inspired?

The double Ford Field frolic
In what would be the Lions’ final touchdown of the game, St. Brown jumped into the stands for a celebration, and Jameson Williams joined him, because…. well, why not?
