The Hippo remains undefeated.
Winnipeg’s animal-inspired celebration has stood atop the Canadian Football League’s touchdown celebration mountain since Week 4, and fended off Sam Eguavoen’s nap-time celebration easily last week.
Before we get into this week’s challenger — Duke Williams and the Esks, to the surprise of absolutely nobody — let’s revisit the hippo.
A rumbling Andrew Harris touchdown led to the dynamic Bombers running back rolling into a hippo impersonation. Soon, he was flanked by teammates and a movement was born.
This week’s challenger is Duke Williams — he of the Booster Juice celebration — and his Eskimos teammates, who sat down for a nice game of hot potato after The Duke trotted into the end zone for a second-quarter touchdown.
