Bynum, 26, picked off the 40-year-old quarterback and wanted to mark the special occasion.
His turnover came on an international stage with the Vikings taking on the Jets at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Bynum recruited Joshua Metellus to help him celebrate his pick.
The two then began to perform a handshake – which fans thought looked familiar.
It was the secret handshake that Lindsay Lohan performed with her butler in the film ‘Parent Trap’.
The celebration was captured by the NFL’s official X account in the UK and Ireland.
And fans loved seeing the celebration.
“This is the greatest celebration of all time and I won’t be convinced otherwise,” one commented.
“I saw the video first with no sound and could hear the music through their flawless execution,” another noted.
A third wrote, “That is probably my favorite movie ever.”
Bynum explained the celebration in his post-game press conference.
“We’ve had some fire celebrations,” he laughed.
“This might have been one of my favorites just because it’s one of my favorite movies and it’s based in London.
“As soon as I knew we were playing in London and I watched that movie last week, I’m like, ‘This is it.’
“That’s one of my favorite movies and I had to shout out to London for that one.”
London calling
The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings kick off the NFL’s annual run of London fixtures.
New York and Minnesota face off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday October 6 at 2.30pm local time – 9.30am ET for fans back home in America.
It is the first of three straight NFL Sundays that begin with an early game live from London.
The following week, Tottenham also plays host to the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Chicago Bears.
And on October 20, the Jags will head across town to Wembley Stadium to take on the New England Patriots.
Bynum’s pick was one of three that the Vikings forced on Rodgers in their 23-17 win in London.
Minnesota moved to 5-0 thanks to their defensive playmakers, and set the Jets to 2-3 in the process.
“We expect to have these turnovers and we’re always preparing,” he said.
“We know 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.
“My mindset is I’ve got to have something ready every single week.”
