Chiefs player penalised for celebrating a touchdown with a Muslim prayer against the Patriots
Husain Abdullah #39 of the Kansas City Chiefs scores a touchdown after an interception against the New England Patriots at Arrowhead Stadium but there was a flag on the play
The NFL is once again found itself a talking point for the wrong reasons after a Kansas City Chiefs player was penalised for praying after he scored a touchdown in Monday night’s 41-14 win over the New England Patriots.
Chiefs’ safety Husain Abdullah was delighted to pick off a Tom Brady throw and return the interception for a touchdown. He immediately slides down onto his knees and, being of Muslim faith, prayed in celebration.
