WATCH: Aaron Jones caps touchdown run against Dallas with infamous Marshawn Lynch celebration
Aaron Jones finished a touchdown run with a move special to NFL fans, diving into the end zone with Marshawn Lynch‘s infamous pose. Jones turned around before diving backwards into the end zone grabbing his crotch with one hand — mimicking the finish of the legendary “Beastquake” run from the 2010 NFC Wildcard game between the Seahawks and Saints.

Jones had an impressive first half against the Dallas defense, rushing for 66 yards on 11 carries and the one touchdown. After having talked back-and-forth with Dallas players throughout the game — including signaling first down from the Dallas bench after a run forced him to the sideline — Jones continued the trash talk by showing off one of the most infamous touchdown dives in the history of the sport.
Lynch first struck the iconic pose after his incredible 67-yard touchdown run to give the Seahawks a 10-point lead at home in the fourth quarter of the Wild Card game. Lynch shrugged off multiple tacklers and threw some more to the ground on his path to the end zone — and ignited the fans into a cheer loud enough to register as a small-magnitude earthquake.

Jones continued his dominance against the Dallas defense in the second half, finishing his night with 24 carries for 138 yards. Not only was he continually effective in moving Green Bay down the field, it’s possible that the Packers run game directly affected a decision made by Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy that led to an overtime mistake.
With Dallas on the edge of field goal range in overtime, McCarthy made the call to try and pick up the fourth-and-three down instead of kicking and missing — leaving Green Bay with good field position. Although McCarthy’s decision wasn’t immediately understood by fans, it’s likely that Green Bay’s rushing attack was in the back of his mind.
