Bucs' cheerleaders attempt to distract Vikings during timeout (VIDEO)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need all the help they can get these days, so it's hard to believe the placement of the Bucs' cheerleaders during a timeout Sunday against the Vikings was not intentional.

The Vikings started at their own 20-yard-line with 1:57 remaining, and during the two-minute warning, the Tampa Bay cheerleaders walked on the field and performed a pompom routine directly in front of the Vikings.

The sexy distraction was probably hard for the visiting team to ignore — but they managed:

The Vikings won on a walk-off fumble return in overtime, so you have to admire them for their sense of purpose and self control.
