Week 9 of the NFL season was filled with excitement, drama, and, naturally, some trolling. Among the teams that made the most of their victories was the Atlanta Falcons, who continued their petty post-win antics, this time taking aim at the Dallas Cowboys and their dedicated fanbase.
Falcons Secure Fifth Win: The Falcons have hit their stride, securing their fifth win in six weeks. Their latest victory came alongside standout performances, with quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing for 222 yards and three touchdowns and rookie running back Bijan Robinson adding 86 rushing yards. This recent success has positioned Atlanta as a serious contender, and they haven’t been shy about flaunting it.
Dallas Cowboys’ Struggles Continue: In contrast, the Cowboys stumbled for a third consecutive week, losing 27-21. Dallas, known for its high expectations as “America’s Team,” has faced growing scrutiny as the losses mount. The game also saw quarterback Dak Prescott exit early in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury, further frustrating Cowboys fans who hoped to turn things around.
Atlanta’s Post-Win Trolling: The Falcons, who have been known to throw shade at opponents this season, didn’t hold back after this latest victory. In addition to mocking the Cowboys’ “America’s Team” title, Atlanta’s social media team took playful jabs at Cowboys superfan Post Malone and the concept of “bandwagon fans” in general. This continued the Falcons’ tradition of post-game social media antics, cementing their reputation as one of the league’s most entertaining Twitter accounts.
The Falcons’ combination of on-field success and post-game trolling has kept fans and rivals entertained. Meanwhile, Dallas heads into Week 10 with lingering questions about their form, their quarterback’s health, and the mounting frustration of their loyal fans.
