Tyreek Hill isn't ever shy about putting forth an entertaining celebration after finding the end zone. Sunday was no exception.
Hill pulled in a 41-yard touchdown from Tua Tagovailoa late in the first half, finally giving the Dolphins their first lead of the game 21-14 over the surprisingly pesky Panthers.
Hill scrambled over to a bystander in the back of the end zone and grabbed his cell phone, acting like he was recording himself while doing a backflip. Except he really did record himself, and the video is out there.
The video appears to cut off right as Hill is in the middle of his flip, but one can make out at the end of the video that Hill is airborne.
Hill's celebration isn't the first time that a flamboyant wide receiver has used a cell phone as a prop in a celebration. Former Saints wide receiver Joe Horn grabbed a cell phone after a touchdown against the Giants in 2003 and acted like he was having a conversation.
Hill's selfie video earned him a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. However, Miami's defense was able to force a field goal attempt on the following drive, which the Panthers missed to end the half.

A low cost doesn’t necessarily mean it was a smart move by Miami
