Week 13 of the NFL season brought the drama, the upsets, and of course, the top-tier trolling. From the Seattle Seahawks’ savage subway-themed graphic jabbing the New York Jets to the Pittsburgh Steelers pulling out the Kung Fu Panda references to roast the Cincinnati Bengals, teams were not holding back on the virtual victory laps.
Seahawks Stun Jets with Second Half Surge
The Seahawks looked down and out, trailing the Jets 21-7 in the second quarter. But a 92-yard pick-six by Seattle’s Leonard Williams flipped the script. The Seahawks reeled off 19 unanswered points to shock New York 26-21.
And the Seahawks social media team wasted no time rubbing salt in the wound. They posted a subway-themed graphic packed with hidden gems trolling the Jets, including a dejected-looking Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams trying to spot each other outside the train. Savage.
Steelers Outlast Bengals in Shootout
Meanwhile in the AFC North, points were not in short supply as the Steelers outgunned the Bengals 44-38. Russell Wilson threw for over 400 yards and the Steelers’ Twitter celebrated by breaking out the Kung Fu Panda memes and taking a shot at noted Bengals fan, rapper Jack Harlow.

The Indianapolis Colts eked out a nail-biter over the New England Patriots 25-24 thanks to a late TD and 2-point conversion. To celebrate, they used a meme of famous Boston fan Ben Affleck looking quite distraught.
And the Los Angeles Chargers leaned on their defense, picking off Kirk Cousins four times to beat the Atlanta Falcons 17-13. The Chargers’ social squad got in on the fun by posing with Atlanta rap icon Quavo postgame.
