It's like John Madden said in 'The Replacements'
"I love to see a fat guy score. Because first you get the fat guy spike, and then you get the fat guy dance."
I think the penalty was assessed correctly, but when you've got that much adrenaline pumping through you and the magnitude of what you've done overtakes you, it leads to excessive action. Maybe it was a minor breakdown in discipline. I would certainly say so if it were a DB or LB who returned it, but honestly, how often does a DL get a pick-six? Give him a break.
