The Baltimore Ravens took little time to get on the board in the first half of the AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Lamar Jackson scored his first passing touchdown of the game in style, so naturally, he and the rest of the Ravens’ offense had to celebrate in style—and throw some shade at their opponents in the process.
In the first quarter, Jackson escaped heavy pressure and threw a 30-yard bomb downfield to Zay Flowers for a game-tying touchdown.
Afterward, Jackson, Flowers, and the rest of the Ravens’ team huddled up and broke out into a “Swag Surfin” celebration.

Baltimore’s touchdown festivities took a dig at two things: one, the fact that the Chiefs played the song “Swag Surfin” by the Fast Life Yungstaz at Arrowhead Stadium a few weeks ago at the request of linebacker Willie Gay.
Then, in the Chiefs’ wild card round playoff win over the Miami Dolphins, members of the Chiefs’ suite (including Taylor Swift) were seen swaying back and forth to the song, which turned into a cheesy viral moment.
In a championship game as competitive as this, expect more touchdowns—and more cheeky celebrations—on both sides.
The Chiefs are currently up 14–7 in the second quarter.
