A busy Week 9 prompted trolls from around the league.
The Atlanta Falcons have found their stride, getting their fifth win in the past six weeks. The Dallas Cowboys, on the other hand, dropped their third straight in a 27-21 loss.
Kirk Cousins threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns, and Bijan Robinson ran for 86 yards. Dak Prescott left the game early in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury.
The Falcons have been known to be petty after wins this season. That trend continued this week as Atlanta poked fun at Dallas being known as “America’s Team” as well as at singer Post Malone, who is a Cowboys fan, and popular bandwagon teams.

Here are more top trolls from Week 9.
The Buffalo Bills needed a 61-yard field goal from Tyler Bass to defeat the Miami Dolphins at home.
Buffalo’s seventh straight win required a late drive from Josh Allen. With the score tied at 27, the Bills regained possession with 1:38 remaining. They marched down to Miami’s 43-yard line for a go-ahead field goal with five seconds left.
The win clinches Buffalo an undefeated season against Miami, which they beat 31-10 in September. The Bills posted a “Miami Vice”-inspired graphic. They also took a jab at Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith.
So nice we beat them twice. 😎#GoBills | #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/vcB2TdYdyH

The Washington Commanders have their best start through nine games since 1996 after holding on to beat the New York Giants.
New York made the contest a one-possession game with 2:48 remaining in the fourth. Washington responded by keeping the chains moving on its next possession, securing a victory. Jayden Daniels threw for 209 yards and two scores — both to Terry McLaurin.
The Commanders had a simple troll, making a reference to New York City’s “Big Apple” nickname.

The Los Angeles Chargers‘ defense shined to secure a win on the road. They forced three turnovers by the Cleveland Browns, all from Jameis Winston.
Justin Herbert had 282 yards and two touchdowns, and J.K. Dobbins ran for 85 yards and two scores. Quentin Johnston had four receptions for a game-high 118 yards plus a touchdown.
The Chargers put their own spin on a “Family Guy” clip to troll the Browns.
