The funniest moments in football usually happen after the play is over. Forget the game highlights for a second, the internet is loving how the Indianapolis Colts cheerleaders tried to copy Cam Bynum’s viral interception celebration. Turns out, it’s a lot harder than it looks.
The internet jumped on the moment instantly. Fans who remember how a Philadelphia cheerleader’s sideline reaction to Jalen Carter’s ejection earlier this season went viral will understand the craze about this. This one might be even a better content.
The Cheerleaders Give It A Shot
Bynum has been sitting on his celebration for a decade. He first practiced the move back in 2015, long before his NFL debut.
The defensive back carved out a strong career with the Vikings, playing 65 games and racking up 342 tackles. He signed with the Colts this offseason and wasted no time introducing himself in Week 1.
Against the Dolphins, Bynum pulled in an interception from Tua Tagovailoa, then slid onto his back and wiggled his way across the end zone. The dance traces back to a 2011 Tamil-language film called Osthe. Somehow, Bollywood found its way to the NFL 14 years later.
The Colts cheerleaders couldn’t resist. They took to TikTok with the caption: “had to try Cam Bynum’s celly out.” Eight women lined up to give it their best shot. These are professional dancers who train nonstop. But the floor move had them beat. Out of all the attempts, only one stuck the landing. The rest flopped hilariously.

Fans quickly chimed in. Comments ranged from “harder than it looks” to “they need ten years like Cam.”
The buzz also adds another layer to a season already filled with unique cheerleader moments. Just last month, chatter about male cheerleaders in the NFL gained attention after Amanda Vance gave her opinion on the controversy.
So, if you’re brave enough, hit the floor and give it a go. Just don’t expect to look like Cam Bynum on your first try.
