Camryn Bynum and Josh Metellus of the Minnesota Vikings delivered yet another show-stopping celebration on Sunday, this time paying homage to the 2004 comedy White Chicks. The safeties, who have gained a reputation for their creative post-play theatrics, recreated the film’s unforgettable dance battle scene after Metellus intercepted Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins during the first half of the Vikings’ 42-21 victory.
A Perfectly Choreographed Tribute
The celebration unfolded in the end zone, with Bynum, Metellus, and their teammates recreating moves from the dance-off made famous by Shawn and Marlon Wayans in White Chicks.
The performance reached its peak when Bynum leaped over Metellus, executing a flawless flip as their fellow Vikings cheered nearby.
The move quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising the creativity and execution of the routine. “If there’s an award for celebration of the decade, they win it,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter), reacting to a side-by-side comparison video shared by Fox Sports. Another fan simply declared it “CELEBRATION OF THE YEAR.”
Planning and Preparation
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, this performance was no spur-of-the-moment idea. Bynum revealed earlier in the week that he and Metellus had been meticulously preparing for their next big moment.
“We watched it a million times,” Bynum said, describing their dedication to nailing the choreography. “The mental reps are everything. Just like watching film. You watch it, then it’s, ‘All right, Josh, we gotta master it.’ Took 30 minutes one day, just to master it. Now it’s locked in. So before every game, we walk through it.”
Their hard work clearly paid off, as the celebration became an instant hit with fans and added to the growing lore of the Vikings’ electrifying season.

A Win with Extra Meaning
The Vikings’ dominant performance against Atlanta also marked a bittersweet homecoming for former Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins. After leaving the Vikings in the offseason to sign a four-year, $180 million deal with the Falcons, Cousins faced a rough return to U.S. Bank Stadium, throwing multiple interceptions, including Metellus’ game-changing pick.
The Vikings’ victory improved their record to 9-4, keeping them firmly in second place in the highly competitive NFC North. While their defensive dominance and offensive firepower secured the win, it was the safeties’ viral dance routine that stole the show.
A History of Memorable Celebrations
Sunday’s White Chicks homage is just the latest in a series of headline-grabbing celebrations from Bynum and Metellus. Earlier this season, the duo went viral for channeling The Parent Trap with their reenactment of Lindsay Lohan’s iconic handshake dance. That celebration took place during the Vikings’ 23-17 win over the Jets in London on October 6, further cementing the safeties’ status as the league’s most entertaining duo.
With their playful yet precise routines, Bynum and Metellus have become fan favorites, adding a sense of fun and personality to a team already making waves in the NFC.
Looking Ahead
As the Vikings push toward the postseason, their creativity on the field and in the end zone has provided fans with plenty to cheer about.
Bynum and Metellus, who treat their celebrations with the same level of preparation as their game-day responsibilities, continue to bring joy and excitement to each game.
Whether through big plays or big moves, the Vikings safeties are proving that football is just as much about entertainment as it is competition. Fans can only wonder what viral moment they’ll cook up next.
