Falcons pass rusher Takk McKinley did what he does best in the first quarter against the Rams and sacked Jared Goff.
Takk McKinley sacked Jared Goff and danced like he was an actual falcon flapping his wings
Fabulous. Just fabulous, Takk.
He followed that sack up with a beautiful dance that included flailing arms and some hip thrusting. Five thrusts, to be specific.
You might be wondering why those thrusts (or pumps, as some refer to them as) mean anything.
Well, fellow sack artist Michael Bennett was hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty last season after this celebration against these same Rams:
While being interviewed later that week, Bennett wore a Christmas sweater of him doing the dance. He told reporters, “I think two pumps get you a baby. Three pumps gets you a fine.”
By that measure, perhaps McKinley should have been given a penalty for it.
Of course if it were up to us, no celebrations would get penalties, and players could just have all the fun in the world.
