Ja'Marr Chase to Recreate Chad Johnson's Iconic Touchdown Celebration; Johnson Agrees to Pay Potential NFL Fine

Chase's reenactment of Johnson's famed touchdown celebration using a broadcast camera is set to liven up a Sunday night game against the Buffalo Bills, as Johnson commits to covering a potential unsportsmanlike conduct fine by NFL.

• Ja'Marr Chase, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, is set to recreate ex-Bengal Chad Johnson's iconic touchdown celebration using a broadcast camera during the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills.
• Johnson has agreed to cover any fine Chase might receive from the NFL for this reenactment - a similar action by Seattle Seahawks receiver D.K. met with a $6,131 fine from the league for unsportsmanlike conduct.
• Johnson's original celebration included taking control of a television camera after scoring a touchdown, a move deemed both 'endearing' and 'classless' by fans and critics alike.
• Johnson, who played for the Bengals from 2001-10, has continued to influence the team's culture through his unique customs and friendships with current players.
• Chase, already known for his popular touchdown celebrations, is likely planning on a similar camera-grabbing move, provided he scores a touchdown in the Sunday's match.
