    After a second-quarter go-ahead touchdown, Bills wideout Stevie Johnson took jabs at both Jets wide receivers' Plaxico Burress and Santonio Holmes. After feigning being shot in his leg on his touchdown celebration, Johnson followed by doing Santonio Holmes' patented "Flight Boys" celebration, running around with his arms stretched out in both directions before proceeded to tumble on the ground, mimicking a plane crash, around the time that he was flagged for a 15-yard excessive celebration penalty. After the game, Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson was largely apologetic. Beyond the 15-yard penalty that ended up costing the Bills a crucial touchdown, he referenced some immaturity but would not say whether the celebration was pre-planned. "It was very stupid of me going through that and I feel like I cost our team the win by doing that," he said. "It was a bad decision. It's irrelevant whether or not I rehearsed (the celebration) or not. At the end of the day, it cost our team seven points. I have to apologize to everyone and talk to coach. I can't be doing that. I need to be mature about the situation." Johnson ended up dropping a wide-open slant pass on the Bills' final drive with plenty of space to run ahead of him. "My reaction was slow," Johnson said of the catch. "It was there, I just didn't react fast enough. I think it could have been a touchdown. It's tough. We battled. All the guys fought hard. The defense and offense played like dogs and I didn't make my play again. We drew it up in the huddle, it was there. I just didn't make the play -- my reaction was off."

    It amuses me that athletes these days don't think before they do something.
