MINNEAPOLIS — They actually did it.
After Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum picked off New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Sunday, he sprinted to the end zone with teammate Josh Metellus for one of the more memorable celebrations of the season.
The two reenacted the handshake from the 1998 film "The Parent Trap" between Lyndsay Lohan's character(s) and the butler, who is played by Simon Kunz.
"Three weeks in a row we've had some fire celebrations, but this one might be one of my favorites because that's one of my favorite movies, and it's based in London," said Byum after the Vikings' 23-17 win. "As soon as I knew we were playing in London — and I watched that movie last week — I'm like, 'This is it.'"
Bynum has two interceptions this season, the first coming against the Houston Texans which was celebrated with a dance from Usher's "Glitch" video. He also recovered a fumble against the Green Bay Packers and capped that with a backflip in the end zone.
"We expect to have these turnovers and we're always preparing," Bynum said. "The fact that we go out there and practice and prepare every single day, every single week, we know we're going to get that ball, so my mindset is, 'I've got to have something ready every single week.'"
Bynum and the Vikings are 5-0 entering their bye week, and much of their success has come from their ability to take the ball away. Minnesota cornerback Stephon Gilmore picked off Rodgers late in the fourth quarter to secure the Vikings' latest victory. It also marked the second straight three-interception week for the Vikings defense, which has forced 13 turnovers this season — second-most in the league.
If Bynum and the Vikings can continue that trend, don't expect it the celebrations to stop.
