Yes, Flacco really did the Mannequin Challenge.
The Ravens' mild-mannered quarterback actually broke it out twice in the Ravens’ 28-7 win over the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football.
He froze his go-to celebratory fist pump after a 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end
“I probably looked like a big-time idiot, and I’ll get made fun of when I go upstairs to see my family and all that, but it was fun,” Flacco said.
Leave it to his best friend …
“I thought it was pretty lame,” tight end
Flacco said he got the idea when players were talking about it in the locker room. Pitta said recently re-signed wide receiver
During pre-game introductions for Thursday night’s game, somebody told running back
“I said, ‘You know what, if I score a touchdown today, I’m going to do a spike, and I’m going to stop midway and just freeze,” Flacco said. “When I threw my touchdown pass, I said, ‘You know what, I’ve got to do it. I said I was going to do something, I’m going to do it.’”
The best part may be that Flacco was warned by a referee after the second freeze-frame celebration with Juszczyk. The referee said he may have been close to a planned celebration with a teammate, which has been banned.
A ref warning Flacco for too much celebration? That has to be a first.
“Like I said, I probably looked like an idiot,” he said. “But that’s part of having fun. When you’re out there and you’re winning football games, it’s a lot of fun.”
Flacco wasn’t the only Raven to get in on the Mannequin Challenge. Baltimore’s kickoff coverage unit did it at the end of a touchback. The entire team (minus Flacco, who was speaking with the press) did it in the postgame locker room. Even the Marching Ravens band did it before the game.
Yeah, winning is pretty fun.
