The focus on the Jets may be their quarterbacks Geno Smith and Michael Vick but third string QB Matt Simms decided to have some fun during what might be his only time on the field.
The Jets and Giants played a preseason game on Friday night when Simms scored a fourth quarter touchdown. He decided to hit Victor Cruz’s famous salsa dance and the referee couldn’t help but laugh.

“The ref just looked at me and started shaking his head, he was like ‘C’mon man, really?’ So, I couldn’t help it, was like ‘Sorry’ and kept walking by,” Simms said, via Yahoo! Sports. The salsa, which is Victor Cruz’s trademark celebration, was something Simms had told his fellow quarterbacks he would be doing be doing earlier in the week if he threw a touchdown. Fortunately for the Internet, Simms is a man of his word.
The QB also added after the game that it wasn’t meant as a taunt to Cruz, as the two are actually friends. “Not at all, I was just having some fun, nothing personal. I actually worked out with Victor in the offseason this year. I know him personally,” Simms explained, according to Yahoo! Sports. “I didn’t take a jab at him or anything like that. I was just having some fun with something that everyone knows in the stadium.”
