Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs had some fun on the Lions' opening drive against the Rams. So the NFL told them to stop.
After each one of them celebrated first downs by pretending to pick a booger from their nose and flick it down the field, St. Brown said that Lions wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery came to them on the sideline and said, "Hey man, refs said you can't do that no more."
The implication being, they would start flagging it if it continued.
"I’m like, what the f**k?" St. Brown said this week on his podcast. "Why is that bad? I want to know: NFL, why can’t I dig in my nose and flick it? Like, there’s no way. What is bad about that? Is that disrespectful? I’m confused. Is that derogatory? Bro, I wanted to do that all game so bad."
St. Brown and Williams had themselves some fun all the same, combining to catch 20 passes for 298 yards and two touchdowns. But the Rams got the last laugh a 41-34 victory over Detroit.
