Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs got up close and personal with the fans on Monday Night Football after reaching the end zone.
Indeed, the rookie rusher broke off for a long touchdown run on the Las Vegas Raiders defense in the game’s third quarter and leaped into the stands to celebrate with the Detroit fans in attendance.
Well, he didn’t just leap. He actually got pulled up into the crowd and stood among the Lions fans, who were elated to actually congratulate Gibbs in the moment after he scored the touchdown.
Gibbs’ fellow Lions actually had to go get him from the stands, and play-by-play announcer Joe Buck hilariously asked Gibbs to come back to the game on the broadcast.

Hey, we’re all for unique celebrations, and this just takes the Lambeau Leap the Green Bay Packers do to the next level.
It’s not always a good idea for players to go into the stands during games, but to celebrate a touchdown with your fans, why not?
Just make sure to listen to Buck and come back to the game once the fun is over.
