The Minnesota Vikings kicked off to the Philadelphia Eagles to start Monday Night Football and things did not go according to plan on the first drive.
The Eagles took the ball 82 yards on 11 plays culminating in a 3-yard rushing touchdown by Jalen Hurts. They were able to maneuver down the field with ease both through the air and on the ground.
When he scored the first touchdown of the game, he started a celebration with a modified version of the Griddy before shrugging it off.

Hurts has every right to celebrate his touchdowns however he wants but to do the Griddy and shrug it off like he did when facing the Vikings is an immediate sign of disrespect and gamesmanship.
Let’s see if it comes back to haunt the Eagles.
