Well that was an exciting one, wasn’t it? The New Orleans Saints players certainly thought so, taking time to celebrate a hard-fought Week 1 win over the upstart Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Saints wideout Emmanuel Sanders shared a look at their postgame antics in the locker room, complete with a D.J. and all the energy fans have gotten used to seeing in recent years.

Sure, it’s not the same as watching Teddy Bridgewater revive “Choppa Style” after decades at the bottom of party playlists. But there’s some real charm in seeing Jameis Winston awkwardly mimic Bridgewater’s signature “bike life” celebration while Alvin Kamara and Craig Robertson are locked in a dance-off.

This is a sign of what is meant when analysts refer to locker room culture; the ease everyone has in sharing camaraderie, and how eager they are to cut loose are leaving it all out on the field. These sort of locker room celebrations have become a staple of Saints postgame activities, and it’s great to see them return for 2020. Maybe next time their music choices will echo a little more cleanly into Sean Payton’s media conference call.
