Best touchdown celebration

Rob Gronkowski’s gregarious nature and extraordinary talent result in the more-than-occasional, entertaining touchdown celebration, but the Patriots’ third-year tight end is going to have a tough time ever topping his homage to his surroundings during the Patriots’ 45-7 rout of the Rams in London during Week 8.

After the first of his two TDs in the game, Gronk marched back and forth with hilarious precision before spiking the ball, a tribute to the guards at Buckingham Palace. Of course, Gronk’s explanation was almost as good as the celebration itself, saying it was his way of saluting “the little nutcracker dudes guarding the house.”
