Packers troll Vikings' 'Skol' chant post-interception; fans join in

The Green Bay Packers' win over the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 23 was all about defense, including a trio of turnovers. After safety Evan Williams hauled in an interception with 3:41 to go in the game, the Packers had essentially sealed off the 23-6 victory, and defenders celebrated together in the end zone in a way that's going to be familiar to Vikings fans.

The players faced the crowd and started doing the popular Minnesota "Skol" chant, with Packers fans in the end zone joining in — though, notably, not the fans in the front row with Vikings jerseys.

Where did the Skol chant come from, anyway?

"Skol" is a derivative of a Scandinavian word skål, which is a bowl that fits beverages and was shared between people, according to Sporting News. It's basically their version of "Prost," or more simply, "Cheers!"

The Vikings have been using it as a rallying cry since 1961 in their fight song, though the chant that we know today didn't start until the team moved U.S. Bank Stadium in 2016. A giant drum is involved.

You'll see the unified clapping at Vikings games before the game and after a touchdown.

The Iceland soccer team rocks something similar, though it appears it stole it from Scotland.

It's been a big couple of months for Wisconsin sports teams co-opting rival traditions. The Brewers celebrated a divisional series win over the Cubs by taking team pictures with an "L" flag provided by fans on hand.
