The Minnesota Vikings’ defense celebrated a turnover in style once again, recreating a dance from the movie High School Musical after recovering a fumble in the first quarter of a 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
The celebration caught the attention of the movie’s stars, as actor Zac Efron and actress Vanessa Hudgens both posted the video on their Instagram stories (via TMZ Sports). Efron also wrote that Minnesota “nailed it.”
Vikings safety Camryn Bynum released footage of the team preparing for the celebration prior to the game.
Minnesota’s defense has played a large role in the team’s 14-2 record this season, allowing a mere 18.8 points per game. The Vikings have also racked up 31 takeaways in 2024, tied for the highest mark in the NFL.
Their defense has paid tribute to multiple movies when celebrating after turnovers, replicating the handshake from 1998’s remake of The Parent Trap during a 23-17 win over the New York Jets in London on Oct. 6.
The Vikings’ defense also pulled out a dance from the movie White Chicks in the second quarter of a 42-21 victory against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14, which caught the attention of starring actor Marlon Wayans.
