Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins drew attention for his unusual touchdown celebration against the New York Jets. After scoring a rushing touchdown, Cousins crouched and performed an elbow-flap motion, likened to a chicken wing dance.
Cousins later explained his unique celebration as a "wellness celebration," intended to honor the staff who help players feel good. He admitted that teammate Brock Bowers had to remind him to perform the gesture.
The NFL's Instagram account shared a clip of Cousins' explanation and celebration. Legendary quarterback and now Fox analyst Tom Brady responded to the post multiple times, expressing his amusement with comments like "Hit em with the wellness!!!! 😂😂😂".
Brady further shared the video to his Instagram story, calling it "My favorite celly all-time" and adding, "Can’t believe I never thought of this in 20 years." This remark highlighted that Cousins had accomplished something unique, even in the context of Brady's extensive 23-season NFL career.
