Seahawks' petty post at Jets tops NFL Week 13 trolls
Thanksgiving-themed trolls were popular in Week 13 of the NFL season, but a non-holiday post leads the way.
The New York Jets took a 21-7 lead over the Seattle Seahawks with 10:40 remaining in the second quarter. But the Jets never scored again as the Seahawks stormed back for a 26-21 victory.
A 92-yard pick-six from Seattle's Leonard Williams in the second quarter sparked the comeback. The Seahawks then hit two field goals before an 8-yard touchdown run from Zach Charbonnet put them ahead for good in the fourth.
Seattle has become known for its unique graphics after each win. It was no different this time around as the Seahawks had a subway-themed graphic with multiple Easter eggs -- including Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams trying to spot each other outside the subway.
Seattle quarterback Geno Smith made sure to troll the Jets himself, too. Drafted by New York in 2013, he left the franchise in 2017 and relished defeating his former team. He posted a popular meme of someone attending his biggest haters' funeral. It was popularized by Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid when his former teammate Ben Simmons was traded to Brooklyn.
Here are more trolls from Week 13.
Philadelphia Eagles 24, Baltimore Ravens 19
An eighth-straight victory for the Philadelphia Eagles included a strong defensive performance.
The Eagles held the Baltimore Ravens scoreless nearly the entire second half -- Justin Tucker missed two field goals in that span before the Ravens finally scored with three seconds left in the game. Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley made it a two-possession game with a 25-yard touchdown run halfway through the fourth quarter. Jalen Hurts threw for 118 yards and a touchdown, while Lamar Jackson had 237 passing yards and two touchdowns.
The Eagles poked fun at the Ravens' namesake with a troll postgame.
Pittsburgh Steelers 44, Cincinnati Bengals 38
The Pittsburgh Steelers faced another AFC North rival in Week 13, but this time it came with a different result.
Pittsburgh's offense shined in a high-scoring win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns, his third career 400-yard game, according to ESPN Research. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had 309 yards and three scores.
Pittsburgh had a "Kung Fu Panda"-themed troll and used rapper and Bengals fan Jack Harlow for a virtual jab at Cincinnati.
Washington Commanders 42, Tennessee Titans 19
The Washington Commanders snapped their three-game losing streak in emphatic fashion, jumping out to a 28-0 lead with 10:59 remaining in the second quarter.
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels had 240 total yards and four touchdowns -- two of which were caught by Terry McLaurin. Washington's defense held Tennessee to just 245 yards.
The big win on the field came with a clever troll off it. The Commanders edited a clip from "The Simpsons" to emphasize the Titans' L.
Indianapolis Colts 25, New England Patriots 24
It came down to the final seconds, but the Indianapolis Colts pulled out a victory against the New England Patriots.
Facing a 24-17 deficit, the Colts went on a 19-play, 80-yard touchdown drive that concluded with a score and a successful 2-point conversion from quarterback Anthony Richardson. The Patriots had one more chance to win the game, but Joey Slye's 68-yard field goal attempt came up just short.
Indianapolis used a popular meme of actor and Boston native Ben Affleck to poke fun at New England.
Los Angeles Chargers 17, Atlanta Falcons 13
Turnovers defined the Los Angeles Chargers' victory against the Atlanta Falcons.
They picked off Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins four times, including a 61-yard pick-six by Tarheeb Still in the third quarter. It was Los Angeles' only touchdown of the game as it tallied just 187 yards on offense.
