Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will need to find a new celebration. Since entering the league, Lamb has used the celebration every time he gets a first down.

On Wednesday, the NFL announced that they would be banning the celebration and are calling it a “violent gesture.” Any player caught doing it will be given a 15-yard penalty.
“Any violent gesture, a throat slash, simulating firing or brandishing a gun, or using the “nose wipe” gesture, or an act that is sexually suggestive or offensive.”
According to the full rules report sent to NFL teams this week, the “nose wipe” celebration is now a 15 yard penalty for being a “violent gesture”

Lamb has already reacted to the league’s new rule by saying he’s already workshopping a new celebration for next season.
