Josh Norman had a little fun at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ expense, but the referees apparently weren’t feeling the love.
The Carolina Panthers cornerback started Sunday’s NFC South matchup with a bang by intercepting Bucs rookie quarterback Jameis Winston’s first pass and taking it 46 yards for a touchdown.

The pick was Norman’s third interception of the season and his second pick-six, so how did he celebrate? By riding the football like a pony, of course.

Panthers fans probably loved Norman’s dance moves, but the officials didn’t, hitting him with a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
We’ve seen a lot more egregious celebrations than this one, but the NFL evidently isn’t a big fan of its players pretending footballs are horses.
