Tariq Woolen for Seattle after he broke up a pass to Keon Coleman in the end zone was huffing himself up and trash talking Coleman.
Next play Josh Allen goes back to Coleman with a perfect pass for a one handed grab touchdown.
Coleman was again being covered by a now very subdued Woolen

I coach rugby and tell my teams to celebrate when the game is over and never on the field if we are the visiting team. Pissing your opponent off is not a good idea in a contact sport.

Yeah, I think it's like coaches used to say - "Act like you've been there before."

With regard to American football, I'm tired of seeing every defender/receiver/whoever run 60 yards/meters to the cameras solely to strike a pose or prearranged and choreographed dance with teammates after successfully executing their job on one single play.

I'm also sure that American football isn't alone (hello futbol and NBA).

So many clouds, only two fists...

here in Japan the baseball culture is pretty much how I imagine it is in American. Adults celebrating their kids winning a game wins like it's the WBC. Baseball needs more contact to sort that stuff out.
Why is a batter bat flipping so disrespectful but a pitcher fist pumping after a strikeout isn't? Gotta be because of the DH rule protecting pitchers from retribution right?

I think nowadays most players have accepted the bat flip and similar showmanship, recognizing that fans like the entertainment value. it's mainly a few recalcitrant curmudgeons (lookin' at you, MadBum) who take issue with it.

Completely agree with the above comment about NFL players celebrating every minor achievement, like a first down. I especially dislike defensive backs strutting around after an incomplete pass, particularly when they got away with clear holding or PI (i.e., a majority of the time).

watching the Bills, who play in blue or white shirts, play the Colts who play in blue and white shirts was not fun. Someone make your alternative shirt yellow and black stripes FFS.
How good is it to see Damar Hamlin playing so well after his near death experience on the field? I bet he appreciates everyday.
Bills won and Josh Allen is getting his running legs working so next week should be fun.

Yeah good to see Hamlin out there. He was actually dead as his heart had stopped and they did CPR. I’m curious if he got an internal defribrillator or if they decided it was just an unlucky blow to the chest that caused his heart to stop.

Texans would be 9-1 if games only lasted 2 quarters. I guess the coaches don't realize the opposing team will make adjustments in the second half.
