Doug Baldwin Super Bowl 2015 Endzone Penalty [VIDEO] Seattle Seahawks Tight End Apologizes For Offensive Touchdown Celebration, Costing Team 15 Yards

Touchdown celebrations are pretty great, but excessive celebration leads to some penalties in the NFL. When the Seattle Seahawks' tight end Doug Baldwin performed a pretty offensive celebration after scoring a touchdown (see photo above) during the 2015 Super Bowl, his team was penalized with a 15-yard penalty. The Seahawks lost to the New England Patriots, with many considering this penalty an avoidable situation that cost the team too many yards. This week, Baldwin apologized for his excessive celebration, reflecting on it as a pretty bad idea.

Speaking with the local radio station 710 ESPN Seattle, the tight end apologized to his fans and teammates about the celebration.

"I do regret the fact that it cost my team 15 yards, and to the fans, ultimately I apologize to anybody I offended in any way," Baldwin said this week, according to UPROXX. "It wasn't about that. I just think it was a competitive situation. So to all the 12s, all the fans, that's not what it's about. So I apologize to anyone if I offended you."

You can check out a video clip of this excessive celebration, which was cut from live TV due to the camera delay, right here:

"I spent a lot of time those two weeks prior to getting ready for that game just focused on my individual matchup with [Patriots CB Darrelle Revis], and I put a lot into it, and in that moment, I guess you could say it was just kind of a built-up frustration I was letting out in that sequence, you know, between him and I," the NFL star told the radio station. "Obviously there was competitive stuff going on in that game, and in that moment, I just let out what I felt personally."
