Kerby Joseph, safety for the Detroit Lions, celebrated his second interception against the San Francisco 49ers by performing the chicken dance made famous by ex-49ers star Merton Hanks.
Joseph's performance came after he intercepted Brock Purdy twice, leading the NFL with nine interceptions this season.
ESPN analyst Troy Aikman immediately recognized the dance and reminisced about Hanks, revealing it was a familiar sight from their match-ups in the 1990s.
Aikman humorously recalled his experiences with Hanks, noting that he often disliked seeing that dance after throws against him.
Additionally, Joseph had an eventful game, including a confrontation with 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings during the first quarter.
