Golden Tate apologizes for leaving teammate out of TD celebration

Detroit Lions/Twitter

After catching a 27-yard touchdown pass in Monday night's win over the New York Giants, Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. celebrated with a simulated pingpong match against teammate Golden Tate.

The celebration resulted in an awkward moment for left guard Graham Glasgow, who had to settle with giving Jones a pat on the helmet.

Tate feels bad for leaving Glasgow out, and told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press they'll make sure to include him next time.

"I'd been focusing on the pingpong and just didn't see him," Tate explained. "But I looked at again today, I was like, 'Oh, poor Graham.' He just wanted to be included."
