During Sunday night's game between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers, Victor Cruz scored a touchdown. So of course, he did his signature salsa dance. And just like the last time the Giants were on Sunday Night Football, the NBC producers decided to get cute with everything.

This is obviously dumb and annoying, so we decided to do a little digging and find out what the producers DIDN’T go with. The choices are a little eye-opening, but unquestionably more entertaining than the real deal. Enjoy!
