Eagles’ DeVonta Smith pretends to steal from Salvation Army kettle in touchdown celebration vs Cowboys

DeVonta Smith had planned out this touchdown celebration for a little while.

When Smith scored his second touchdown of the day against the Dallas Cowboys, he was eye-balling the Salvation Army Red Kettle that sits beyond one of AT&T Stadium’s end zones.

Smith faced the kettle, pretended to put a ski mask over his head, broke down an imaginary door, and acted as if he was taking out presents from the kettle alongside fellow receiver Quez Watkins.

The receiver has garnered from criticism on the celebration on social media, while others are defending it, assuming he is pretending to be the Grinch on Christmas Eve.

When Ezekiel Elliott scored a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts, he and Dak Prescott used the kettle to do a jack-in-the-box celebration.
