Browns Use Sanders, Garrett to Throw Shade at Raiders, Topping Week 12’s Petty Posts
NFL teams didn’t hold back on the field *or* on social media as Week 12 brought some serious competition… and some seriously good trash talk! But one team stood out from the rest.
The Cleveland Browns are riding high after a dominant 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. But the win wasn’t the only thing they conquered – their social media game was on point, too!
Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, in his first career NFL start, delivered a solid performance with 209 passing yards, a touchdown, and an interception. But the real story on the Browns’ side was the defense. They brought the heat with a staggering 10 sacks, a season-high for any NFL team in the past two years. Defensive end Myles Garrett was a one-man wrecking crew, racking up three sacks himself and pushing his season total to an impressive 18.
Browns Dominate On and Off the Field
The Browns’ social media team didn’t miss a beat, capitalizing on the victory and Garrett and Sanders’ standout performances. They unleashed a perfectly executed troll post featuring a clever edit of their faces into a scene from the iconic movie “The Hangover,” which, of course, takes place in Las Vegas. Adding insult to injury, they crossed out the “Sin” in “Sin City” and replaced it with “Win.” Ouch!
But the Browns weren’t the only ones getting in on the social media action. Here’s a roundup of the top NFL troll moments from Week 12:
Other Top NFL Trolls From Week 12
Cowboys vs. Eagles: Dallas Gets the Last Laugh
The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a stunning comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles, securing a 24-21 victory with a game-winning field goal by Brandon Aubrey as time expired.
The Eagles had jumped out to a commanding 21-0 lead early in the second quarter, but the Cowboys’ defense slammed the door shut for the remainder of the game. Dak Prescott led the charge with 354 passing yards, three touchdowns, and a rushing score. The 21-point comeback tied for their largest comeback win ever.
After their Week 11 win, the Eagles bragged about their defense by posting a picture of key players photoshopped onto a brick wall with the caption: “Who’s getting past this?” The Cowboys remembered! After their victory, Dallas revived the Eagles’ post and photoshopped Dak Prescott as the “Kool-Aid Man,” bursting through the wall. Savage!
Seahawks vs. Titans: Taking a ‘W’ Back to Seattle
The Seattle Seahawks bounced back from a Week 11 loss with a solid road win against the Tennessee Titans, defeating them 30-24.
Seattle jumped out to an early 23-3 lead, fueled by a strong connection between quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Smith-Njigba had a huge game, snagging eight receptions for 167 yards and two touchdowns – his second career game with 150+ receiving yards and two touchdowns.
The Seahawks made sure to poke fun at the Titans multiple times, highlighting the “W” in “yeehaWWWW” in their postgame caption. They also cleverly twisted a lyric from the Tennessee-based rap group Three 6 Mafia, changing it to “It’s A Tennessee Thing.”
Patriots vs. Bengals: Changing Letters, Changing Outcomes
The New England Patriots are showing signs of life, notching their ninth straight victory by defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 26-20. This is the Patriots’ longest win streak outside the Belichick-Brady era!
Cincinnati jumped out to an early 10-0 lead, but New England responded with 17 unanswered points to take control of the game. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye threw for 294 yards with a touchdown and an interception each.
New England kept their troll simple but effective – replacing the “C” in “Cincinnati” with a “W.” Classically understated New England.
Texans vs. Bills: Winging Their Way to Victory
The Houston Texans are riding a three-game winning streak after defeating the Buffalo Bills on “Thursday Night Football” by a score of 23-19.
Houston’s defense dominated, forcing three turnovers and sacking Bills quarterback Josh Allen eight times, tying a franchise record. Texans quarterback Davis Mills threw for 153 yards and two touchdowns, while Allen struggled with no touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Texans had multiple trolls aimed at the Bills, including a playful spin on the “Bills Mafia” fan base and a post featuring a compilation of players enjoying… buffalo wings.
