Wide receiver Justin Jefferson hit his signature griddy after putting the Vikings up 14-7 over the Seahawks with a touchdown catch on Sunday afternoon.

He was then assessed a 15-yard penalty for taunting.

No. 18 normally gets away with celebrating flag-free when he hits his dance, but because he was looking at—and essentially griddying at—Seattle cornerback Devon Witherspoon, the referee considered it taunting and threw the yellow laundry.

The 15-yard penalty was assessed between downs, and Minnesota kicker hit the longer extra point, giving his team a seven-point lead.

Up 17-14 at halftime, Jefferson leads the Vikings with five catches for 52 yards and a score. A win in Seattle would be their eighth consecutive victory.

Next time he scores, you'll likely see the 25-year-old pass catcher looking straight ahead as he celebrates.
