Fans lose it over Patriots’ hilarious touchdown celebration

New England Patriots fans have been waiting all season for Stefon Diggs to find the end zone, and when he finally did on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, the celebration was just as viral as the touchdown itself.

Pats fans can’t stop talking about this viral end zone celebration

After Diggs’ first score as a Patriot, the team erupted in the end zone performing the “Hingle McCringleberry” dance, a move made famous by the Key & Peele sketch where the character is repeatedly flagged for excessive celebration. The Patriots kept it more tame than McCringleberry (played by Keegan-Michael Key), with just one pump in the air. But fans on social media couldn’t get enough.

Here were some of the best reactions:

Other fans focused on the bigger picture. The Patriots’ season has been nothing short of a surprise. Sitting at 6-2 and leading the AFC East, they’ve completely flipped the script from last year’s four-win campaign. Sunday’s 32-13 victory over Cleveland cemented their position as one of the league’s hottest teams.

Whether it was Diggs’ first touchdown or the hilarious homage to McCringleberry, one thing’s for sure: Patriots fans have plenty to celebrate, on and off the field.
