Atlanta Falcons Head Coach & Spin Zone Master, Raheem Morris, Says That Drake London’s Gun Celebration Was Actually Just A “T-Shirt Cannon”

There's a logical explanation for everything. Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris wanted to clear the air about a celebration that got his team penalized at the end of this past week's Monday Night Football game, which saw the Falcons upset the Philadelphia Eagles 22 to 21. Wide receiver Drake London caught what ended up being a game-winning touchdown, and in the heat of the moment, he mimicked shooting a gun up into the air. The refs determined that the "use of a weapon" celebration was deserving of a penalty flag. https://twitter.com/bestcelly/status/1835880085326585856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1835880085326585856%7Ctwgr%5Efe175c9901396bf5e9216a53d233b7741256e8fc%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D606054action%3Dedit Probably didn't help all that much that he stopped to do it right beside where the ref was already standing. However, it appears that the refs and the millions of fans that were watching the game interpreted London's post-touchdown actions all wrong. You see, it might have looked like Drake London was firing a pretend machine gun up into the air. However, as the Falcon's head coach explained in a press conference on Tuesday, the Atlanta wide receiver must have been doing something more innocent in nature: "Initially I didn't see it, and I guess it was the use of a weapon. (That's) how people interpreted that as a penalty. Drake is a great kid. His intent was not as a use of a weapon. He probably was shooting t-shirts into the stands, to be honest with you, because he’s just that kind of a guy. He was excited. He got excited. He's one of those guys that plays with great energy. He immediately apologized on site before I could even get a chance to correct him." https://twitter.com/CoachspeakIndex/status/1836147013190324288 Ahh... the ol' t-shirt cannon celebration. How could we have gotten that one wrong? Obviously Drake London was pretending to shoot t-shirts up into the air, and it's on all of us to get our minds out of the gutter and be better when interpreting NFL touchdown celebrations.
