Pat Freiermuth’s Celebration Punt Steals the Spotlight in Steelers’ Win
It’s not every day you see a player switch positions mid-celebration, but Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth decided to give fans a little extra entertainment during Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Known for his reliable hands and blocking skills, Freiermuth took a trip down memory lane after scoring a 20-yard touchdown by unleashing a booming punt into the stands of Acrisure Stadium. Yes, you read that right—a punt!
Freiermuth, who also punted during his high school days, couldn’t resist the urge to show off his old skills. While the crowd loved it, the tight end admitted after the game that not everyone might have been thrilled with his fine-inducing celebration. “My grandfather’s probably pissed at me, but man, it’s all good.” Freiermuth joked, clearly enjoying the moment despite the potential consequences.
But Freiermuth wasn’t the only one making headlines in Week 14 of the NFL season. Let’s dive into some of the other standout moments and quotes from a weekend packed with drama, surprises, and unforgettable performances.
Tyreek Hill Reacts to Jets’ Clock Management
The Miami Dolphins narrowly avoided an upset against the New York Jets, pulling off a thrilling 32-26 overtime victory. The game was filled with late-game dramatics, but one moment, in particular, left Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill scratching his head.
With a first-and-ten on the Dolphins’ 27-yard line and the clock winding down, the Jets seemed poised to run out the clock and secure a win. Instead, a series of Miami timeouts and an out-of-bounds stoppage left 50 seconds on the clock after the Jets kicked a field goal. That was all the time the Dolphins needed to tie the game with seven seconds left and eventually march 70 yards in overtime for the game-winning touchdown.
Hill didn’t hold back in his postgame comments, saying, “[I was] kind of surprised by that.” It’s safe to say the Jets’ clock management will be a hot topic in New York this week.
Mac Jones Learns the Hard Way
Over in Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Jaguars snapped a five-game losing streak with a gritty 10-6 win over the Tennessee Titans. With starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence sidelined due to injury, backup QB Mac Jones stepped up and delivered 220 of Jacksonville’s 291 total yards.
It wasn’t a flashy performance, but Jones credited the Jaguars’ defense and the team’s resilience for the hard-fought victory. Reflecting on his own struggles in the league, Jones said, “It’s tough to win in the NFL. I’ve learned that the hard way.” For Jacksonville, the win was a much-needed morale boost as they look to turn their season around.
Dan Campbell’s Unforgettable Postgame Moment
Leave it to Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell to deliver one of the most memorable postgame moments of the week. After a nail-biting win over the Green Bay Packers, sealed by Jake Bates’ game-winning field goal, Campbell was in his usual fiery form during his postgame address.
But in the middle of praising his team’s effort, Campbell took a hilarious detour to acknowledge offensive tackle Dan Skipper, who was throwing up off to the side. “There you go Skip, keep throwing up! Whatever you’re doing over there.” Campbell quipped, proving once again why he’s one of the most entertaining coaches in the league.
