Who says big guys can't dance? Well, it's not often that a 337-pound NFL nose tackle gets into the end zone to show off his moves, but the Packers' No. 90, B.J. Raji, was just in the right place at the right time.

Intercepting a pass by the Chicago Bears' third-string quarterback, Caleb Hanie, and running it back 16 yards to score your first NFL touchdown is definitely reason to celebrate.

Nicknamed "Big Boss," Raji is now officially the biggest man to score a postseason touchdown in NFL history according to Elias Sports Bureau. But this isn't the first time a big guy like B.J. shared his dancing with the country.

In 1985 (before the 24-year-old Raji was even born) William "The Refrigerator" Perry of the Bears shared much of the same excitement during the team's run to Super Bowl XX. This may explain why B.J. is now proud to call himself "The Freezer."

Say what you may about showboating, but Raji's dance was funny, whether you are a Packer fan or not. But Mike McCarthy found the dance to be "a little bit undesirable," giving Raji two minuses on the play
