Rico Dowdle made an early mark in Week 10 against the Saints, scoring a touchdown in the first quarter.
Dowdle now has touchdowns in back-to-back weeks, after producing two against the Packers in Week 9.
This time around, Dowdle made sure not to do one celebration after he was fined for doing a certain celebration in Week 9.
What did Dowdle avoid doing after his touchdown?
Dowdle brought out a hilarious celebration after a touchdown in Week 9, imitating a move from a Key & Peele comedy sketch.
He hit the famous "Hingle McCringleberry" excessive celebration, which the refs apparently didn't find amusing.

A flag was thrown, and Dowdle was also later fined for his actions.
Fast forward to this week, he put his hands on his head like he was going to do the same celebration, but decided to avoid it this time around so he wouldn't get fined or called for a flag.

Dowdle has absorbed a major role with the Panthers since getting more touches after a Chuba Hubbard injury over a month ago.
Even after Hubbard's return to the field, Dowdle has gotten a majority of the touches for Carolina's backfield since he has played so well with and without Hubbard playing.
