Bengals: Joe Mixon’s coin flip celebration trolling NFL goes viral
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon hid a coin in his glove and brought it out during a touchdown celebration against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18.
It was the locker room’s way of trolling the NFL for making up and voting on a one-time rule, altering the team’s playoff path in the wake of their Week 17 game being declared a no-contest.
Under the new rules, if the Bengals lost on Sunday, they would’ve been subjected to a coin flip to determine whether they or the Ravens hosted a wild card round rematch. That could have made the Bengals the first divisional winner ever to not host a playoff game in the opening round.
Mixon’s touchdown put the Bengals one step closer to making the controversial new rule a non-factor and the celebration set the NFL world on fire.
Mixon really had a coin in his glove 😂#BudLightCelly | @budlight pic.twitter.com/eg8evfvtsT

After scoring the Bengals' first TD of the game today, RB Joe Mixon pulls down his sock and pulls out a coin and proceeds to flip it. Elite troll!

Joe Mixon is 100% going to get fined for the coin flip celebration and it’s 100% worth it.
I’ll pay part of it.
