Watch: Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon, teammates break out TD celebration of the year candidate vs. Bills

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon and his teammates pulled off what might be a top candidate for touchdown celebration of the year after a score against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.

Following a seven-yard touchdown run by McKinnon near the end of the first half, he gathered with his teammates in the endzone for a little bench-press celly.     

NFL players have shown no shortage of innovative thinking over the years when it comes to endzone celebrations. However, McKinnon's creativity in using a teammate as the bench is simple but brilliant nonetheless. 

McKinnon had good reason to celebrate. The 31-year-old not only found paydirt on the ground for the first time this season, but it was his first rushing score since Week 14 of 2022.
