Emmanuel Sanders Excited About NFL's Reversal On Touchdown Celebrations

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - The Broncos are celebrating the NFL's decision to let players trumpet their touchdowns with celebrations that for years resulted in flags and fines.

"I like it," Joseph said. "It's a hard league and scoring a touchdown is hard in this league. And let's allow them to have fun. Why not? It hurts no one."

Emmanuel Sanders has a reputation for flamboyant TD celebrations, most of them within the rules but not always.

"Now I can go a little overboard without getting cussed out by the head coach," Sanders said.
