Sammy Watkins celebrates TD prematurely, gets tackled before score (VIDEO)

Bills quarterback Kyle Orton hit Sammy Watkins behind a pair of Jets defenders Sunday and it looked like the speedster was off to six-point heaven. All Watkins had to do was keep running and it was an 84-yard touchdown.

Too bad Watkins, who must have assumed no Jets players were even chasing him, slowed down about 20 yards short of the goal line — with a celebratory finger in the air — and got caught from behind at the 5-yard line:

Lucky for Watkins the Bills scored on the drive so it didn't hurt the team, but hopefully the Bills rookie will remember to start showboating after the whistle blows.
