NFL World Reacts to Cowboys’ Whack-A-Mole Touchdown Celebration

The Cowboys delivered a win over the Giants on Thanksgiving Day, and they also delivered an iconic touchdown celebration.

Dallas tight end Peyton Hendershot scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter to increase the Cowboys’ lead to 28–13. For the ensuing celebration, he was joined by three teammates, who jumped into a giant Salvation Army donation bucket beyond the end zone. Hendershot then held the football as a prop and pretended to play Whack-A-Mole with his teammates as the moles.

Hendershot ended up knocking down fellow tight end Jake Ferguson in the bucket, and he fell down in dramatic fashion.
