The Las Vegas Raiders fell to a 2-8 record on Sunday after losing to the Miami Dolphins 34-19. Despite the outcome of the game, rookie tight end Brock Bowers made team history after recording the most receptions by a tight end in their first ten games since Darren Waller. Bowers was also involved in a little controversy for his touchdown celebration.
The tight end hit the Donald Trump dance to celebrate his touchdown, which has gone viral around the NFL. According to some reports, when the media asked Bowers about the celebration, Las Vegas had to pull him away from the press and made him unavailable from anymore questions.
It is likely the team pulled Bowers away to save him from any controversy that could have come his way if he were to start answering questions about the celebration. The Donald Trump celebration has become more popular amongst players throughout the league since Trump was elected the President of the United States.
Players like San Francisco 49ers' star pass rusher Nick Bosa have done the dance after getting sacks, and Bosa was even fined over $11,000 for wearing a MAGA hat in his post-game press conference.
Despite the close controversy, Bowers had his best career game going for 126 receiving yards and a touchdown.
