Andrew Hawkins' touchdown "dance" from Sunday went viral after a Twitter user interpreted it as the Browns receiver making fun of the NFL. It sure seemed that way, and when he was asked about it Monday, Hawkins admitted that was the point.
"I was glad everyone on the Internet interpreted it the right way because I wasn't sure if they were going to get the joke," he said, via Cleveland.com.

The joke is that the league wants its players to act like robots after they make a play. Antonio Brown and Josh Norman have highlighted the absurdity of the league's crackdown on celebrations with their respective dances this season.
After scoring a touchdown against the Patriots, Hawkins realized it would be a great moment to make fun of the stupid rules.
"Everything you do gets fined nowadays, right? Me seeing the tape of what not to do — and I get it, rules are rules — but I thought it would be funny to do that and troll the whole situation, so that's what I did," he said.
Now we just hope Hawkins isn't fined for mocking the league.
