High school football team uses mannequin challenge as secret weapon

This is far from the first mannequin challenge, but it might be the most practical.

We've seen athletes dabble in the mannequin challenge during the trend's peak over the past couple months. But most of those attempts were just for show.

The Del Oro High School football team busted out the mannequin challenge long enough to distract its opponents after a touchdown. So when they suddenly broke character and switched formations for a two-point conversion, the defense was fooled.

Hats off to you, Del Oro.
