Chad Ochocinco Planning to Celebrate If He Scores During Super Bowl

INDIANAPOLIS — If Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco finds the end zone during Super Bowl XLVI, it sounds like he’s ready to unveil a celebration.

Ochocinco has averaged less than a reception per game during his first year with the Patriots, and he only scored once, so the odds are against him. But if it happens, he’s planning to relish his moment in the spotlight.

Ochocinco broke out a number of entertaining celebrations during his tenure with the Bengals, and he caught a lot of heat from the organization and the NFL for the antics. After he scored his only touchdown with the Patriots, he immediately turned toward the sideline and ran off the field.

“Normally, everybody knows I have crazy celebrations that I do all the time,” Ochocinco said Thursday. “I’ve been kind of quiet on the celebrations and the production this year, so if I score this Sunday, I might do something. It’s the biggest stage.”
