And the award for most tasteless touchdown goes to celebration: Buffalo Bills receiver Steve Johnson.
After
scoring during the loss of Buffalo 28-24 for the New York Jets, Johnson
pretended to shoot himself in the leg, mocking jets receiver Plaxico
Burress, who spent almost two years in prison after accidentally
shooting himself at a nightclub in New York three years ago.
Officials
gave the Bills a 15-yard penalty for excessive celebration of Johnson,
the jets for a touchdown tying the game just before halftime. Considering the Bills lost four points, you could say that was the difference in the game.
To his credit, Johnson was apologetic after the game.
"You hurt our team. It was very stupid of me going through, and I feel like the cost of our team doing that, "Johnson said."It was a bad decision. It is irrelevant whether or not you have tried or not. At the end of the day, cost him seven points of our team.
"I have to apologize to everyone and talk with the coach. I can't be doing that. I need to be mature about the situation. "
Burress said that Johnson did not Bother him.
"I don't have any reaction to it. I am a big fan of his, "Burress said.He is a great young talent, and I'd like to see him play. That doesn't bother me at all. "
