The San Francisco 49ers' special teams unit was penalized for excessive celebration on the play above, which began with a blocked punt and ended with an apparent touchdown and San Francisco players doing snow angels on the ground

(Going to the ground as part of a celebration is against the NFL's strict rules, as are group celebrations.)

Adding insult to injury, the touchdown was overturned after it was determined the ball-carrier stepped out of bounds.
