Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams could receive a hefty fine from the NFL for his celebration after a 61-yard touchdown against the Washington Commanders.
In a dizzying first half in Detroit, Williams somersaulted toward the end zone before appearing to thrust his hips toward the ground in celebration as his teammates ran toward him.
The cameras quickly cut to Williams on the broadcast, but the two seconds that aired were all it took to make it a topic of conversation.
It was a pivotal moment for the Lions, who were trailing 24-13 at the time. But as much as fans found the celebration fun, everyone said Williams will receive a monstrous fine after the game is over.
“Jameson Williams won't get a check for 4 years after this celebration,” one fan said.
Another wrote: “Jameson Williams doesn't care about an NFL fine.”

But moments after celebrating, Williams, 23, headed to the locker room frustrated.
A pass from quarterback Jared Goff intended for Williams was intercepted in the end zone, with Williams open for a second touchdown in the game.
Remarkably, the touchdown was Williams' only contribution with the ball in the first half of an impressive game in which Washington took a surprising 31-21 lead into the halftime interval.
'Wow! This is crazy! I mean, this is video game stuff,' an astonished Tom Brady said on the Fox broadcast after Williams scored his touchdown.
