Seventeen years later, the legacy of "The Human Centipede" lives on.
The Detroit Lions appeared to reference the 2009 body horror movie, which takes place in Germany, during their clash with the New England Patriots in Munich. After German-American wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown
scored his second touchdown of the day, the players on the Lions' offense got on all fours and crawled in tandem across the back line of the end zone.Fox announcers Joe Davis and Greg Olsen expressed their confusion at the celebration on the broadcast, but many fans and analysts on social media noted the apparent reference to the horror film.
In the movie, a twisted German doctor kidnaps three people
and surgically connects them in order to force them to share a digestive system.
St. Brown's second touchdown of the day gave the Lions a 28-3 lead halfway through the fourth quarter. The star wideout had four catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns after his second score of the day.
