By Sam Gardner, FOXSports.com Detroit Lions tight end Joseph Fauria seems to be developing quite the reputation for epic touchdown dances, the latest of which came in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins and channeled 'N Sync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” dance.

Fauria isn’t the only NFL player to draw inspiration from Cousin Terio while celebrating a touchdown, though. DeSean Jackson did the same thing after a score earlier this season:
