The fans may have been booing just moments before, but Washington Commanders quarterback Jaylen Daniels seemed pretty unfazed after rushing for a 17-yard touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys... and immediately hitting a viral TikTok dance in celebration.

The rookie QB specifically mimicked a highly popular dance to the song "Maps" by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which was created by Tiktoker Jared McCain.
