Seahawks bust out old-school New Edition dance moves for end zone celebration

The Seattle Seahawks are having a blast.
Coach Pete Carrollâs team is riding a five-game winning streak and sitting atop the NFC West and in the No. 2 spot in the conferenceâs playoff standings.
So why not celebrate a touchdown by breaking out some old-school New Edition dance moves in the end zone? Thatâs exactly what David Moore did, along with fellow Seahawks receivers Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf and Jaron Brown after scoring Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
The touchdown came on a 60-yard bomb from quarterback Russell Wilson that gave Seattle a 27-17 lead in the final seconds of the third quarter.
LET'S GO! What a bomb right into the hands of David Moore! đ

The celebration came straight from the music video for New Editionâs 1988 hit âIf It Isnât Love.â Moore and company nailed the choreography, which synced up perfectly with the original version.

âThat was something weâve been practicing,â Moore said after the Seahawksâ 37-30 win. âWe love old-school, we love just having fun and New Edition was the plan tonight.â
Brown added: âWe knew we had to hurry up and do it real fast because it was gonna take awhile. So we were just hoping we didnât have to call a time out.â
Monday night wasnât the first time Seattleâs wideouts employed boy band moves in the end zone. After a Brown touchdown during the Seahawksâ 32-28 win over the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 13, the same quartet busted out a dance made famous by âN Sync in the video for their 2000 hit âBye Bye Bye.â
The judges scores...

In case you need a refresher, New Edition is the R&B/pop group that helped make Bobby Brown a star (heâs the Bobby in the famous line âRonnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mikeâ from their 1984 hit âCool It Nowâ). Brown had left New Edition and had been replaced by Johnny Gill by the time âIf It Isnât Loveâ came out during the groupâs New Jack Swing phase.
âWe like âCool It Nowâ too, but they didnât really have any dances in that,â Moore said.
Gill tweeted out his appreciation of the Seahawksâ homage later Monday night.
