Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. took some inspiration from Tyreek Hill on Sunday as he taunted the Cleveland Browns on a big fourth quarter play.
Pittman cashed in a 75-yard touchdown reception to give the Colts a surprising lead over the Browns late in Sunday’s game. As he headed for the end zone, Pittman flashed the peace sign at the pursuing Browns defenders.

Pittman received a flag for taunting on the play, and based on precedent, he can probably count on a fine coming his way. Considering the importance of the moment, he might not care.
The 75-yard touchdown was only Pittman’s second catch of the afternoon. Perhaps he had been waiting a while to break out that kind of celebration, no matter the consequences.
