Touchdown celebrations got busted out of fun jail on Tuesday and everybody but Marvin Lewis (and your previously mentioned 74-year-old grandpa) is pumped about it.
The celebration extended to the NFL's official Twitter handle, which was able to splice together a nice little montage of celebrations previously relegated to the digital mothballs. Enjoy!
Expect to see a lot more of these celebrations in 2017 under the NFL's new relaxed rules. 🔥 #TDTuesday pic.twitter.com/zLL198frL9

The Bears tried to get in on the fun, but I guess they didn't have a GIF of a celebration that would have been penalized under the old rules. Tells you a lot about the dearth of excitement in the last half decade.

Then there's Cam Newton, who probably hasn't even left the house since hearing the news. Just a man standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, working out a new series of moves.
The @NFL has made some player-friendly rule changes!

The Rams, meanwhile, brought back a classic from their Greatest Show On Turf heyday in St. Louis. Makes sense that a 6-yard Tavon Austin reception wasn't going to cut it.

Finally, I endorse any rule change that rips the glass ceiling off fat-guy touchdown joy.
We like it. 👍🏈 pic.twitter.com/7jO9WAKuf4
