When you’re the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player and you’ve just signed the most valuable contract in NFL history, it makes perfect sense that you celebrate by eating whatever meal you want.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco did just that Monday, hours after inking his new record deal with the Ravens. Flacco celebrated by ordering a 10-piece McNugget meal at a local McDonalds’s drive-thru, according to Twitter user John Norman (@hjnorm), who later posted a photo of Flacco ordering his lunch for champions on the social media site. (See above.)

Flacco was on his way to his New Jersey home from the Ravens facility when he ordered the $6.99 McNugget meal – which also included fries and an unsweetened iced tea. Diehard Ravens fan Sherry Norman spotted Flacco and received his permission to snap his photo, ESPN reports.
