Watch DeVonta Smith TD Celebration: Grinch Who Stole The Salvation Army bucket
Watch DeVonta Smith TD Celebration: Grinch Who Stole The Salvation Army bucket
Like everyone else, Devonta Smith recalls the notorious Salvation Army bucket celebration that Ezekiel Elliott made famous in 2016 after scoring a touchdown. Smith might experience a similar fate as a result of his touchdown celebration on Saturday night, which involved jumping into the kettle after scoring a touchdown. He received a fine for that celebration.
After scoring the game-winning touchdown against the Cowboys in the fourth quarter, Smith donned a phoney ski mask, busted down a makeshift door, and “robbed” the bucket of its contents. Maybe the Dallas team hosting the visitors will do a Grinch impression? Along with fellow receiver Quez Watkins, Smith pretended to break down an imaginary door, place a ski mask over his head, and take presents out of the kettle while facing it.

It’s a very original celebration that probably will make some people uncomfortable. It also occurred to fall in the middle of a game between Philadelphia and Dallas that is quickly developing into a classic.
The Eagles had a 7-point lead after the former Alabama receiver’s touchdown, but the Cowboys have since reclaimed the lead. With less than 3 minutes left in the game, Dallas leads 37-34.
Can you imagine what this would mean to Gardner Minshew if the Eagles can beat the Cowboys today on Christmas Eve?

On social media, the celebration has drawn criticism for the receiver, but some users are defending it under the assumption that he is dressing up as the Grinch on Christmas Eve.
The kettle has been served as a touchdown-related prop. On Thanksgiving, the other tight ends engaged in a game of whack-a-mole in the kettle after tight end Peyton Hendershot scored against the New York Giants.
With a victory, the Eagles would have locked up the top seed in the NFC. Smith nevertheless finished with eight receptions for 113 yards in the 40-34 defeat.
