The Detroit Lions dropped a celebration so wild on Sunday against the New England Patriots, it had everyone talking, but the real shocker? It was inspired by the ancient Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe fame. Yeah, you read that right. During their dominant 35-10 victory in Week 10, the Lions pulled out a move that probably sent football historians scrambling.
That Celebration Tho
Amon-Ra St. Brown was absolutely cooking, scoring two touchdowns in the big win. But after one of those trips to the end zone, he led a celebration that was an instant viral hit, turning heads across the league. Isaac TeSlaa was right there, part of the “human centipede” action, and he actually shed some light on where this bizarre genius came from. TeSlaa also snagged a touchdown in the game himself, but let’s be real, his role in explaining this celebration might just be more memorable than his score.
The Claymores Connection, Explained
So, how does a defunct NFL Europe team from way back inspire a viral moment in 2026? TeSlaa broke it down. “I don’t remember the other team, but one of the teams was the Claymores,” he said. He added, “I don’t know if it was them or the other team that they were playing, but I guess that was like something that they did, and then the other team did it to make fun of them or something like that. But we saw that, and obviously we’re known for our celebrations, so we were all like, ‘We gotta pull that one out.’” It sounds like the Lions dug deep into the archives, found some ancient football beef, and turned it into pure gold. Who knew the ghosts of NFL Europe would make a Week 10 appearance? The Lions definitely keep things interesting.
