Steelers Criticized for Mock CPR Celebration in Win Over Browns

One of the Steelers’ sack celebrations against the Browns on Sunday was poorly timed, to say the least.

After Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith sacked Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson during Pittsburgh’s 28–14 win on Sunday, one of his teammates pretended to give him CPR before he stood up.

Although this celebration isn’t new to the NFL, a number of fans were unhappy to see the Steelers perform it just six days after Bills safety Damar Hamlin was resuscitated on the field during last Monday night’s game.
