Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver, Antonio Brown took a penalty Monday night when he celebrated a third-quarter touchdown catch by twerking in the end zone.

While Brown demonstrated great technique and form, not all were impressed with his display of triumph. He was flagged for excessive celebration which is described as unsportsmanlike conduct which is usually followed by a hefty fine.

Perhaps Brown can pay it off by charging for twerking tutorials; or better yet a twerk-off with Serena Williams! Who wouldn’t pay to see two amazing athletes go head to head in a twerk battle?

Disgruntled referees aside, Brown had just cause to celebrate; just take a look at this play!
