Colts Lineman Quenton Nelson Explains His Awesome Kegstand Celebration

CBS

The touchdown may not have counted but we’ll always have the stellar celebration that followed.

Leading the Jaguars 10–7 at the start of the second half and facing a third-and-goal from the 1-yard line, the Colts turned to All-Pro offensive lineman Quenton Nelson to punch the ball in.

Nelson lined up at fullback, took the handoff and plowed into the teeth of the Jacksonville defense. He came up well short but one official ruled the play a touchdown, so the Indianapolis offensive line leapt into action for its celebration.

Give the Colts a lot of credit not only for the idea of the celebration but also for how they pulled it off.
