Steelers Somehow Forget Signature Sack Celebration Is Also Tasteless Mocking of Damar Hamlin Incident
zachnading Published 01/09/2023
Come on, guys. What are we thinking here?
During the waning seconds of the Steelers vs. Browns game on Sunday, Alex Highsmith recorded a sack on Deshaun Watson. Defensive end, DeMarvin Leal then celebrated with Highsmith by simulating CPR. Ill-timed to say the least.
As if anyone could forget, one week ago Bills' safety Damar Hamlin was resuscitated on the field of play before being driven off to the hospital in an ambulance. Apparently, the Steelers had a lapse in judgment. Although the celebration is fairly commonplace in the NFL, and we don't believe there was any malice intended... just pick a different celebration.

can’t tell who this was on the @steelers, but his sack “celebration” with @highsmith34 has to be the most ill-timed in @nfl history pic.twitter.com/4JCwrupSWb
