Odds Set For Excessive Touchdown Celebration Flags On Antonio Brown
The NFL recently relaxed its rules on celebration, but Antonio Brown, one of the league's best-known TD celebrators, might still draw some flags.
Â
The NFL has relaxed its touchdown celebration rules, but oddsmakers still think Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown will draw some excessive celebration flags this season.
The league will now allow group celebrations and using the football as a prop after scores.
Brown's twerking, however, will still draw a flag (and a hefty fine most likely) in 2017.
He drew three flags for excessive touchdowns celebrations in 2016, and after he posted a picture of himself mid-twerk in response to the rule changes, there's a chance he'll continue to be penalized.
BookMaker.eu, the market-setting offshore sportsbook, has opened a proposition wager for how many excessive touchdown celebration flags Brown will draw in 2017:
Over 1.5 (-160, bet $160 to win $100)
Under 1.5 (+130, bet $100 to win $130)
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger have requested that Brown change his ways in order to stop costing the team yardage.Â
But the flashy, and now well-paid, star receiver has consistently shown he's going to do things his way. It wouldn't be stunning to see him draw a couple excessive celebration flags in 2017.Â
That's something the Steelers might be forced to put up with in exchange for the type of numbers (106 catches, 1,284 yards, 12 touchdowns in 2016) Brown consistently puts up.Â
