Does Kittle laugh every time he pancakes somebody? 

"Yes," Kittle said. 

"Whether you're taking their soul, they just made a highlight reel clip, and you never want to be on a highlight reel clip. So I kinda laugh about the fact that they just made a highlight reel clip. So thanks."

Kittle was asked this question because of a clip that went viral last season of him laughing after throwing a block, as well as a similar reaction to a block last Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Who knew that one man could have so much joy from the taking of one's soul.
