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

Dallas tight end Peyton Hendershot led a fun celebration with teammates after scoring a touchdown against the Giants.

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.

An undrafted free agent tight end from Indiana just scored the game-breaking TD and 4 Cowboy tight ends jumped into the Kettle and played whack-a-mole AS IF THEY HAD REHEARSED IT BEFORE THE GAME. SURREAL. BEAUTIFUL. 28-13.
