Lamarr Houston just took a page out of Stephen Tulloch’s playbook, and then some.
The Chicago Bears defensive lineman sacked New England Patriots backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo late in the fourth quarter. Houston’s team trailed by 25 points, but he thought it’d be a good idea to celebrate his individual efforts with a nice little sack dance.
It didn’t end well.
Houston had to be carted off the field with an apparent leg injury.
Let’s hope Houston’s injury isn’t as serious as Tulloch’s, who suffered a torn ACL during his failed sack dance and will miss the season. At least Tulloch’s Detroit Lions went on to a 19-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. Houston and the Bears, meanwhile, were blown out 51-23 and now have lost four of their last five games. Not the best look.
UPDATE (6:15 p.m.): It isn’t looking good for Houston. The lineman will undergo an MRI on Monday morning, but the Bears are “fearing the worst,” a league source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
