Tom Brady and Bill Belichick secured their seventh Super Bowl appearances on Sunday as the New England Patriots dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game.
One player who had a lot to do with the win was Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount, who on a drive in the second quarter, powered through the defense and literally dragged six Steelers players to the one-yard line. He then scored a touchdown on the ensuing position and paid tribute to Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James by re-enacting his signature celebration, “The Silencer.”
Take a look for yourself below.
After the game, James acknowledged Blount’s celebration, while the running back responded with nothing but praise for the four-time MVP.
@KingJames gotta rep and show respect to the best, so I hit em with “The Silencer” ✊? #Respect
