When Bears linebacker Lamarr Houston tore his ACL while celebrating his first sack of the season in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss to the Patriots, he became a punchline for plenty of people.
Houston could see the humor in the situation and says that people are “not wrong to question why I celebrated and they’re not wrong to say I shouldn’t have celebrated,” although he feels he had reason to celebrate. He also says that the celebration is going to remain part of his game while vowing that it won’t lead to laughter this season.
