There should an NFL bylaw that allows for an exceptional touchdown celebration to prevent the possibility of a replay review because, well, Quenton Nelson and the Colts deserved that touchdown.
During Sunday’s game against the Jaguars, the Colts opted to give 331-pound offensive guard Quenton Nelson a shot at scoring a touchdown as a fullback on a third-and-goal handoff. And, at least initially, he did! The officials ruled that Nelson broke the plane, which set the entire O-line off into a brilliantly choreographed keg-stand celebration.
This was the exact type of touchdown celebration you should expect from an offensive line, and it didn’t disappoint.
He didn't get in (after further review), but Quenton Nelson just pulled off the Keg Stand Celebration, an all-time instant classic.

Just based on that celebration alone, Nelson deserved his touchdown. But because all scoring plays are reviewed, it was clear that Nelson didn’t cross the goal line — a major letdown in every way.
Though Jacoby Brissett would help the Colts find the end zone on an amazing effort the next play, it’s such a shame that Nelson’s celebration went to waste.
