New York Giants defender Kayvon Thibodeaux has been criticised for his conduct after a big hit, where he appeared to celebrate as he lay next to an injured opponent.<\/p>\n
Late in the second quarter, Thibodeaux hit Indianpolis Colts quarterback Nick Foles from the blind side, and lay on the ground next to the quarterback doing 'snow angels' in celebration.<\/p>\n
Foles would eventually be carted off the field and did not return.\ufeff<\/p>\n
