Aaron Rodgers’ Championship Belt Celebration Put To Good Use In Atlanta

by Dan Fogarty | 1:16 pm, January 16th, 2011

Aaron Rodgers had himself quite the game last night against the Atlanta Falcons: 31 for 36 for 366 yards and three touchdowns (he also ran for a score) in a Packers rout. So it was no surprise that his “championship belt” celebration made an appearance.

The dance, which consists of Rodgers strapping on an imaginary championship belt (whether it’s a boxer’s belt or a wrestler’s belt remains unclear) has been featured heavily this season. Last night, though, it was done with a little more ferocity than usual.

“This probably was my best performance — the stage we were on, the importance of this game,” Rodgers said. “It was a good night.”

Here’s the celebration in action (gif via Mocksession).

The reason for this was likely becuase a few plays before this, Abraham sacked Rodgers to start the half, turned, and imitated the belt move. A few plays later, Rodger scores, and takes the belt back!

There is actually a contest being held for the best belt dance, inspired (I’m sure) by Aaron Rodgers. Check it out!

I find this highly humorous… and awesome

Freddie Mitchell with the Philadelphia Eagles was the first NFL player to perform the Championship Belt celebration and ironically it was against the Green Bay Packers in an NFC Championship game.

Chris Mannix If Chris Bosh had set a screen, popped out and beaten Indy w/an 18-footer that Hibbert couldn't get to, would we be blasting Vogel for that?
