Cincinnati Bengals receiver Jerome Simpson showed off his acting skills in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
During a scramble for a loose ball after Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton fumbled, Simpson pulled Browns linebacker Scott Fujita out of the pile by his leg. Fujita got up and gave Simpson a half-hearted push, to which Simpson make a fake dive backwards and fell to the ground as if he had just been the target of a bone-crushing hit.
Simpson's dive did draw a flag on Cleveland for unnecessary roughness, but that penalty offset Cincinnati's personal foul penalty on the same play. Cleveland was given possession of the ball.
