Watch: Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux does snow angel celebration next to injured QB
New York Giants rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux had a poorly timed sack celebration in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Colts quarterback Nick Foles never saw Thibodeau coming from the blind side and was injured on the play. He exited the game and will not return.
As he was laying on the ground in obvious pain, Thibodeaux proceeded to celebrate his big play by doing a snow angel motion (even though there was no snow on the ground) right next to him.
On one hand, Thibodeaux probaably had no idea to the severity of Foles' injury. It was a spur of the moment celebration after a big play in an emotional game. The Giants entered the week needing only a win to clinch a playoff spot.
On the other hand, he had to have some idea that something was wrong as Foles continued to lay on the ground writhing in pain. Especially as Thibodeaux had to adjust his celebration to avoid hitting him.
Probably no malicious intent here. Just some bad timing and maybe a little lack of awareness.
