The Minnesota Vikings were getting crushed at home in an important game against the Seattle Seahawks when Vikings receiver Cordarrelle Patterson chose the wrong time to celebrate a touchdown.

Patterson returned a punt for an impressive touchdown, going 101 yards for the Vikings' first score.

However, the Vikings were tailing 35-0 before the return. Patterson celebrated a bit excessively considering the score.

Here's the play:

While it was an impressive play, and we're usually pro-celebration, celebrating like this while down by double-digits to a conference rival isn't the best look.
