Vince Lombardi wouldn’t have liked it.
David Nelson, a native Texan and wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills promised his girlfriend Kelsi Reich that he’d do something ‘special’ if he scored a touchdown against the Cowboys. Did I mention that she was a cheerleader for the Cowboys?
After he received a pass for a TD, Nelson delivered running across the field to embrace the opposing team’s cheerleader and, to make matters even more awkward, present her with the touchdown ball.
“It was a special moment to share with her,” Nelson, who scored the Bills’ only touchdown in a 44-7 loss, told The Associated Press. “I didn’t want it to be awkward. She knew it was coming; I don’t think she knew what was coming.
“If it would have been a better situation, I would have done a little more,” added Nelson, who said an on-field marriage proposal wasn’t in his plans. “Being down 14, I’m not going to go to celebrate too much.”
