There are few things better than a punter getting to show his athleticism. In a divisional matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears, Lovie Smith's team doesn't think the Vikings have any chance of stopping them, which prompted this unexpected first-half two point conversion.

Obviously inspired by Jay Cutler's moxie, punter Adam Podlesh saunters into the end zone, and even lowers his shoulder into the defender a little. Kudos to punter athleticism!
