We already knew Marquette King —  the Oakland Raiders punter who likes to punctuate his kicks with a celebratory dance — is cool.

He provided even more evidence Sunday against Buffalo, when he absorbed a hit that resulted in a roughing-the-kicker penalty against the Bills and then celebrated the call with a dance that incorporated the penalty flag itself.

OK, so Raiders fans might not have thought the resulting unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty against King was that cool.

But he likely got some coolness points back after the game by tweeting out a photo of a Bills player who pointed out his dance to an official and labeling the guy a “snitch.”

The Raiders won the game, 38-24, and are tied with the New England Patriots with an AFC-best record of 10-2.
