Watch: Darren Waller does James Harden stepback TD celebration in Houston
Darren Waller paid homage to James Harden after scoring against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Waller caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr that put the Oakland Raiders up 14-7 against the Texans. Since the tight end was in Houston, he decided to give a nod to one of the city’s stars. He did Harden’s stepback jumper as a touchdown celebration:
WILL NOT BE DENIED.

Waller absolutely nailed that Harden move. He got the Harden after shot celebration too. That might have even been prettier than the Raiders’ play fake that got Waller open for the score.
That was Waller’s first catch of the game. The 27-year-old tight end entered the game with 44 catches for 485 yards and two touchdowns on the season.
