The Steelers haven’t scored a whole lot of touchdowns this season, so they have not been able to dig too deep into their bag of touchdown celebrations.
That bag got a little smaller on Tuesday, when head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that somersaults into the end zone — like the one Emmanuel Sanders pulled on the team’s only trip across the goal line on Sunday — are now prohibited.

Some might argue the Steelers, who have already banned Ping-Pong and other locker room games, are taking the “zero fun, sir” mentality a little too far. But after the team’s 0-4 start — its first in 45 years — and a rather ugly 19-6 win over the Jets, good luck finding anyone in Pittsburgh who thinks this team should be having any fun at all.Â
Since he likely won’t repeat it this season for fear of catching Tomlin’s wrath, take another look at Sanders’ celebratory flip in the GIF below, courtesy of GIFD Sports.
