The trolls didn’t hold back in the NFL in Week 7.
The Indianapolis Colts stopped the Miami Dolphins’ late victory attempt. In a divisional battle, the Philadelphia Eagles faced the New York Giants. The Buffalo Bills came back strong to defeat the Tennessee Titans.
However, it was a comfortable victory between NFC teams that led the way this week.
Here are the best trolls of week 7.
After losing their previous three games, the Seattle Seahawks are back in the win column, beating the Atlanta Falcons on the road.
Seattle forced three Atlanta turnovers, one of which led to a 64-yard fumble recovery touchdown by Derick Room. Geno Smith threw for 207 yards and two touchdowns. DK Metcalf had four receptions for 99 yards and a score before leaving the game.
The Seahawks had a plethora of trolls targeting the Falcons — and Kirk Cousins especially.
They captioned a post with a version of the lyrics to “Swag Surfin'” by Georgia-based hip-hop group Fast Life Yungstaz, a popular track at Falcons games. Then, Seattle released a custom graphic with a similar look to Atlanta hip-hop group Outkast’s album “Aquemini” with a reference to “do you like that?!” from Cousins. slogan.

Saquon Barkley’s return to New York resulted in a dominant performance.
He ran for 176 yards and a touchdown – the second most rushing yards in a game by a player against his former team in NFL history. Barkley also had more total yards (187) than the Giants as a whole (119).
The Eagles made sure to troll their rivals after the win, using Barkley in the graphic and referencing New York’s “Big Apple” nickname.

With Anthony Richardson Back under center, the Colts held on to defeat the Dolphins for their second straight victory.
Miami had the ball with 1:51 left and reached the Indianapolis 33-yard line, but was unable to find the end zone to tie the score. Richardson compiled 185 total yards in a low-scoring affair.
The Colts used a clip from Michael Pittman Jr.. fishing to catch a “W” out of the water, a nod to the dolphins’ namesake.

The Bills were down 10-0 in the first half, but never looked back, scoring 34 straight points to hand the Titans their second straight loss.
Josh Allen threw for a record 323 yards plus two touchdowns, and a rookie Keon Coleman had a career-high 125 receiving yards.
Buffalo had a smart troll for Tennessee. The Bills found a nearly 2-year-old tweet from the Titans revealing a rendering of their new stadium and added the final score to it.
