    Jets’ Colts Overcome NFL Week 11 Trolls

    Divisional matchups in the NFL in Week 11 made for some mean posts, but one indivisible led the way.

    The Indianapolis Colts came back to beat the New York Jets 28-27 at MetLife Stadium. The Colts were down 27-22 with 2:41 left in the game before the Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson capped a six-play, 70-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run.

    The Jets had one last chance with 46 seconds left, but turned it over on downs, handing them their second straight loss. In his first start since Oct. 27, Richardson had 304 total yards and three touchdowns. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had 184 passing yards and two scores.

    Indianapolis’ win was accompanied by several New York-themed trolls, including lines from Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.”

    Here are the best trolls from week 11.

    AFC North games rarely disappoint, and the latest installment between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens is a prime example.

    The Steelers had an eight-point lead with 3:35 left, then the Ravens responded with a nine-play, 69-yard drive for a touchdown. Baltimore chose to go for two, but failed the attempt with 1:06 left in the game. Pittsburgh then ran out the clock for their fifth straight win.

    If the victory on the field wasn’t enough, the Steelers made sure to throw virtual punches — including a spin on the “SpongeBob SquarePants” scene with a sad violin.

    The Minnesota Vikings took care of business on the road against the Tennessee Titans.

    Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 246 yards and two touchdowns while the Titans quarterback Will Lewis had 295 yards passing plus a touchdown and an interception. Minnesota Star Receiver Justin Jefferson had six receptions for 81 yards, increasing his career total to 6,811 — the most by a player through the first five seasons in NFL history, according to ESPN Research.

    Instead of trolling the Titans specifically, the Vikings opted to mock the entire AFC South.

    Every game counts in the hotly contested NFC West, and the Seattle Seahawks secured a huge win against the San Francisco 49ers.

    Down 17-13, the Seahawks went on an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a quarterback Geno Smith running for a touchdown with 12 seconds left in the game. The 49ers fumbled on the ensuing drive on a botched punt. Smith threw for 221 yards as the San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 162 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

    Seattle had a simple troll after the game referencing San Francisco’s “Bang Bang Niner Gang” slogan.

    The Denver Broncos snapped their two-game losing streak in emphatic fashion, dominating the Atlanta Falcons at home.

    Broncos quarterback Bo Nix threw for a career-high 307 yards and four touchdowns. Denver’s defense held Atlanta to just 226 total yards and forced a turnover — an interception by quarterback Kirk Cousins.

    Like the Vikings, the Broncos controlled an entire division. They used an edited video of Brock Lesnar for a jab at the NFC South.

    A key NFC East battle resulted in a victory for the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.

    The Eagles put up 20 points in the fourth quarter to come back and hand the Washington Commanders their second straight loss. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 146 yards — his sixth 100-yard game this season — plus two touchdowns. Eagles quarterback Jalen hurts threw for 221 yards and ran for a score.

    Philadelphia trolled Washington with a mean caption and a “W” similar to its opponent’s logo.
