Baldwin's entire celebration was not seen by the NBC television audience as the network cut away from Baldwin as he began his pants-pulling motion. His antics earned Seattle a penalty flag for excessive celebration.
Baldwin would not elaborate on the meaning of his 'movement' when asked by ESPN reporter Jane McManus.
I asked Doug Baldwin to explain what his touchdown celebration was: "That's between me and the person it was directed at."

Yahoo! Sports reported that Baldwin denied it was directed at Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis who was covering him on the play, and that he later clarified that is was directed toward a group he would not identify.
