Steelers poking fun at Commanders' towels tops NFL Week 10 trolls

By / / Sports / 3 minutes of reading


Close matchups in Week 10 of the NFL season brought the trolls out once again.

The Pittsburgh Steelers held on to defeat the Washington Commanders 28-27 for their fourth straight victory.

Russell Wilson connected with recently acquired wide receiver Mike Williams for 32-yards with 2:22 left in the fourth quarter for a go-ahead touchdown. The Commanders then turned the ball over on downs after a close call. With a chance to run out the clock, the Steelers faced fourth-and-one and forced a neutral zone infraction to clinch the win.

Pittsburgh’s big win didn’t come without some petty posts on social media. In an attempt to combat the traveling Steeler fans and their signature “Terrible Towels,” the Commanders handed out burgundy towels to fans.

Pittsburgh caught wind of the strategy and responded postgame, along with an edit of a viral video from shooting coach “Lethal Shooter.”

Here are more of the top trolls from Week 10.

The Buffalo Bills won’t stop winning. They clinched their fifth-straight victory after forcing four turnovers from the Indianapolis Colts.

Indianapolis took a 13-10 lead with 6:32 remaining in the second quarter. Buffalo responded by notching 20 straight points to gain control. Josh Allen accounted for 330 total yards, but threw no touchdowns and three interceptions.

The Bills turned two horseshoes into a “W” and poked fun at former Colts punter Pat McAfee with a clever troll. They also put their own spin on the Indianapolis 500.

New coach, different result for the New Orleans Saints.

The Atlanta Falcons had a final chance to tie the game or take the lead with 1:35 left in the game. However, the Saints forced a turnover on downs, snapping their seven game losing streak.

Derek Carr threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns — both to Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who had three receptions for 109 yards. Kirk Cousins had 306 passing yards, while Bijan Robinson ran for 116 yards and two scores.

New Orleans celebrated the occasion by utilizing Atlanta-native comedian Druski in a troll, and offering the route for the traveling Falcons’ fans.

The Minnesota Vikings grinded out a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars behind a strong defensive performance.

Minnesota allowed 143 yards and forced three turnovers, all of which came from Mac Jones, who started for an injured Trevor Lawrence. Sam Darnold had three turnovers as well, but the Vikings won behind four field goals in kicker John Parker Romo’s debut.

The win came with a subtle troll from Minnesota. They poked fun at the Jaguars’ “DUUUVAL” chant, as they captioned their post game win “DUUUB,” using the same amount of U’s in the slogan. The Vikings also had a jab aimed at Jacksonville’s mascot, who attempted to block a team celebration in the fourth quarter.

The New England Patriots dominated on defense to get back in the win column.

The Chicago Bears had 142 total yards and converted a whopping one out of 14 third downs. In a battle of rookie quarterbacks, Drake Maye threw for 184 yards plus a touchdown and interception each. Caleb Williams struggled with 120 passing yards, being sacked nine times.

New England put emphasis on the “WIN” in their postgame caption trolling Chicago’s nickname, the Windy City.
