Sammy Watkins made a rookie mistake on Sunday.

The all-world Bills wide receiver started to showboat before scoring a touchdown against the Jets.

He was breaking away from the Jets defense and would have scored, but he looked up at the scoreboard, slowed down and celebrated … then got tackled.

Check it out below. Also, Twitter let him have it:

Dear Sammy Watkins, objects in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear.

Sammy Watkins coasting to the endzone, arm raised in victory… and he's caught from behind short of a touchdown.

Watkins didn't realize a guy who runs 4.2 was behind him.

And Sammy Watkins' TD for #Bills goes to … FB Frank Summers. How about that, fantasy players?
