TThe Los Angeles Rams’ 35-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars not only caught everyone’s attention as one of the NFL’s international games in London, but also as an interesting celebration.
Rams rookie receiver Konata Mampfield scored his first official touchdown in the league and celebrated by imitating soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rams bring football atmosphere to Wembley
CR7 exists in the NFL thanks to Mampfield
With the crowd at London’s legendary Wembley Stadium watching, Konata ran through the end zone and scored his first career 5-yard TD.
He was so happy that he took a few steps to celebrate, turned around like a Portuguese soccer player, spread his arms out, and shouted “SIUUU”.
Of course, the 22-year-old Pittsburgh native’s gesture didn’t go unnoticed by the crowd and X users who were excited to celebrate him. After the league’s official account shared a clip of the iconic moment, fans were quick to comment:
One fan wrote: “Scoring overseas and delivering great results, Mampfield has earned himself a global game.” Another follower commented: “Perfect celebration.” “Good luck newbie!!!” another person congratulated.
The rookie receiver entered Week 7 with just one 7-yard reception in his career, but after Puka Nacua injured his ankle, Sean McVay trusted Konata’s replacement and gave him a chance to shine. With this TD and another win, the Rams improved their record to 5-2.
Meanwhile, the Rams will face the New Orleans Saints next Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
Meanwhile, the only two international games left in 2025 are the Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolis Colts at Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany on November 9th, and the Washington Commanders vs. Miami Dolphins at Bernabé Stadium in Madrid, Spain on Sunday, November 16th.
