Cleveland Browns perform Kai Cenat-themed celebration after interception

Cleveland Browns and Kai CenatESPN / TWITCH: Kai Cenat

The Cleveland Browns performed a celebration inspired by a game from Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 after getting an interception.

During the December 2 game against the Denver Broncos, the Cleveland Browns defense notched their third interception of the season. Known for their choreographed celebrations, the team drew inspiration from Twitch star Kai Cenat for their latest routine.

The defense recreated Cenat’s ‘Noodle Hitting Game’ from his month-long Mafiathon 2 stream. In the end zone, Greg Newsome II sat while his teammates danced behind him, and cornerback Mike Ford Jr., using a towel as a makeshift “pool noodle,” playfully smacked Newsome on the head.

On November 30, Cenat concluded his marathon ‘Mafiathon 2’ stream, where he streamed non-stop throughout the month, with a staggering 700,000 subscribers, setting a new record on Twitch.

At some point during the stream, he teamed up with comedian Druski and playfully hit Kevin Hart, who was seated wearing a football helmet, with a pool noodle. Cenat himself was also smacked in the head with a noodle by Chris Brown, a guest whose invitation drew criticism from some fans.
