It was another embarrassing start for the Steelers on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs and yet down 23-0 at the end of the first half, one player decided to celebrate breaking up a touchdown in the end zone.

On a 3rd and 11 Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a pass to wide receiver Josh Gordon that was broken up by Steelers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon.


After the play, Witherspoon flexed looking toward the Kansas City crowd and the cameras behind the end zone.
